At Prince William Way 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. Jadidi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity? Dr. Jadidi partners with patients to target their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care a much more achievable reality.
• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Jadidi develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Jadidi when they first notice an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, enabling them to once again enjoy laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth without hesitation.
• Dr. Jadidi provides dedicated support for patients going through their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure, always aiming for positive outcomes like their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Prince William Way Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jadidi at Prince William Way Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Jadidi and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Jadidi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jadidi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Jadidi's specific recommendations.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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. Jadidi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No referral is typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Prince William Way Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Jadidi.
