At North Hill 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. Jafari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, Dr. Jafari's approach is focused on delivering their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion with a healthier smile.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is a common journey for patients under Dr. Jafari's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, so that daily routines and pleasures like concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort become straightforward again.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Jafari about feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals is to attain their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
• The journey from their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach to wellness often involves Dr. Jafari's dedicated care. The milestone is their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which opens the door back to activities such as their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact North Hill Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Jafari.

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 North Hill Dental.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that 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 complex treatments). Dr. Jafari determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jafari at North Hill Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Jafari will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

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