At UR 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. Erfani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Erfani when they first notice having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, enabling them to once again enjoy their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without hesitation.
• Are you struggling with their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development? Dr. Erfani partners with patients to target their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing a much more achievable reality.
• Dr. Erfani often consults with patients whose their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed significantly limits their enjoyment of their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• If an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected has unfortunately put their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Erfani works closely with patients towards attaining a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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 UR Dental.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Erfani will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Erfani at UR Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Erfani and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Erfani 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. Erfani for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Erfani will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Erfani's specific recommendation.

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

No, a referral is not typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact UR Dental directly.

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