• Dr. Araghi expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Araghi when they first notice looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions without hesitation.
• For those affected by their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Araghi provides solutions that lead to a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• For individuals troubled by a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain, Dr. Araghi's approach is focused on delivering a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence with a healthier smile.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Araghi 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 might need 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. Araghi's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

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

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 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 treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Araghi at Sunrise Kids Dental?

At your first appointment, Dr. Araghi and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Araghi will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Araghi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. Services typically include 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 include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Araghi may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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