As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Marashdeh is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Metro Endodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially, Dr. Marashdeh provides solutions that lead to feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.

The clear aim is always successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr. Marashdeh understands that dealing with wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant can be challenging.

Success is marked by their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event and a return to comfort and confidence.

Dr. Marashdeh's practice, Metro Endodontics, is situated in the Davisville North neighborhood of Toronto. The clinic is conveniently located near Exhibition Place and is accessible via TTC (Subway, Streetcar, Bus). Street parking and nearby lots offer accessible options for your visit.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Marashdeh 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 is crucial to follow Dr. Marashdeh'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 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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Metro Endodontics.

Why is it important to try and save a tooth with root canal treatment by an Endodontist like Dr. Marashdeh, instead of just extracting it?

Saving a natural tooth with endodontic treatment is usually the best option because it preserves natural chewing function, maintains normal biting force, and keeps your natural appearance. It also prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, which can lead to other dental problems. Replacing an extracted tooth with a bridge or implant can be more complex and costly in the long run. Dr. Marashdeh's expertise ensures the best possible outcome for preserving your natural tooth.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Marashdeh at Metro Endodontics?

Your first visit will 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. Marashdeh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning may also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Metro Endodontics directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Marashdeh.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from your general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Marashdeh identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Marashdeh 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).
