At Parkway Mall 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. Shojaei frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- For patients where wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is a primary concern, Dr. Shojaei focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
- If feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Shojaei develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
- Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Shojaei when they first notice a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, enabling them to once again enjoy their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without hesitation.
- For individuals troubled by recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, Dr. Shojaei's approach is focused on delivering their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain with a healthier smile.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Shojaei, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

- 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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Shojaei 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).
- 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. 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 verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Shojaei for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Shojaei will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Shojaei's specific recommendation.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Shojaei typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Shojaei provides primary dental care, offering services like 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 (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Shojaei may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Shojaei at Parkway Mall Dental Office?
- Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Shojaei will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Shojaei?
