At Brooklin Dental Centre, 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. Gholizadeh-Sarabi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at 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). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear at Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi's practice is consistently achieving their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is a common journey for patients under Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance become straightforward again.
• If ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem has unfortunately put their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi works closely with patients towards attaining their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi 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. Gholizadeh-Sarabi offer any sedation options?

While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

In ON, 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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at Brooklin Dental Centre.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Gholizadeh-Sarabi's specific recommendation is crucial.

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
