At Sutton West Dental, 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. Ghorbanpour frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Ghorbanpour provides dedicated support for patients going through concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• If their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach has unfortunately put playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Ghorbanpour works closely with patients towards attaining experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Through Dr. Ghorbanpour's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities often find they can readily achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• The journey from a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider to wellness often involves Dr. Ghorbanpour's dedicated care. The milestone is their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, which opens the door back to activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.

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 at Sutton West Dental.

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

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Sutton West Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Ghorbanpour.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ghorbanpour at Sutton West Dental?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Ghorbanpour, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Ghorbanpour will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are 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. Ghorbanpour will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
