At Kanata North Dental Office, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Assadzadeh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Assadzadeh about their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is to attain their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• The journey from feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals to wellness often involves Dr. Assadzadeh's dedicated care. The milestone is their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, which opens the door back to activities such as their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• At Dr. Assadzadeh's clinic, addressing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• Managing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Assadzadeh and the dental team. The clear aim is always their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Assadzadeh, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Assadzadeh is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Assadzadeh for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Assadzadeh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr. Assadzadeh's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Assadzadeh at Kanata North Dental Office?

Your first visit with Dr. Assadzadeh will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Assadzadeh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at Kanata North Dental Office.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Assadzadeh?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Assadzadeh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Kanata North Dental Office.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Assadzadeh can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Assadzadeh can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Assadzadeh will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Assadzadeh offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Assadzadeh understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Kanata North Dental Office offers various sedation options. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your specific needs and the planned procedure. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Assadzadeh during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for you.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Assadzadeh typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Assadzadeh is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
