At Hyde Park Dentistry, 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. Moaveni frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple is a common journey for patients under Dr. Moaveni's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily become straightforward again.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma, involves working systematically towards a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. Dr. Moaveni expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite at Dr. Moaveni's practice is consistently achieving their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Moaveni about a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is to attain their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Hyde Park Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Moaveni.

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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Hyde Park Dentistry's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Hyde Park Dentistry’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (519) 473-8222. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Moaveni or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the London area.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Moaveni at Hyde Park Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Moaveni and the team at Hyde Park Dentistry will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Moaveni will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Moaveni 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.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Moaveni 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Moaveni will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Moaveni's specific recommendation.
