This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• When a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems, Dr. Koosha and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite with Dr. Koosha's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

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

However, Dr. Koosha will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may require visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Koosha's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Koosha is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for patients of all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Koosha also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex needs as required. Dr. Koosha may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training and experience.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered under 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 starting treatment at World Dental Clinic.

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

Yes, Dr. Koosha understands that dental anxiety is common.

Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Koosha during your consultation so they can determine the most suitable and safe sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Koosha will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Koosha at World Dental Clinic?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Koosha, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Koosha will then explain their findings and any recommended treatment.
