At Westwood Gardens Dental Clinic, 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. Parvanehvar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing, Dr. Parvanehvar outlines a path to a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Patients experiencing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Parvanehvar's practice, a key objective is their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Patients presenting with noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance under Dr. Parvanehvar's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr. Parvanehvar expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, means they can happily and comfortably get back to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Parvanehvar at Westwood Gardens Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Parvanehvar will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Parvanehvar will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Parvanehvar 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 may 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's crucial to follow Dr. Parvanehvar's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered under OHIP. 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). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Westwood Gardens Dental Clinic.

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

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

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Parvanehvar 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).
