At N/A, 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. Ghaemmaghami frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, Dr. Ghaemmaghami's approach is focused on delivering a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work with a healthier smile.
• Dr. Ghaemmaghami understands that dealing with experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, helping patients comfortably get back to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies and feeling their best.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Ghaemmaghami about their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure is to attain their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath is a common journey for patients under Dr. Ghaemmaghami's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits become straightforward again.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ghaemmaghami at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Ghaemmaghami and the team at N/A 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. Ghaemmaghami will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time 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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Ghaemmaghami 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ghaemmaghami 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). Dr. Ghaemmaghami also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Ghaemmaghami are essential for early detection and prevention.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
