At For You Dental Care (4U Dental Care), 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. Sotodeh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly is preventing you from fully enjoying their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth or causing discomfort, Dr. Sotodeh offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Patients presenting with their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue under Dr. Sotodeh's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Sotodeh when they first notice feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, enabling them to once again enjoy their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them without hesitation.
• Dr. Sotodeh understands that dealing with wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health and feeling their best.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sotodeh, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact For You Dental Care (4U Dental Care) directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sotodeh.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sotodeh at For You Dental Care (4U Dental Care)?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sotodeh and the team at For You Dental Care (4U Dental Care) 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. Sotodeh 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. Sotodeh for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Sotodeh 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 important to follow Dr. Sotodeh's specific recommendation.

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is important 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 For You Dental Care (4U Dental Care).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sotodeh is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sotodeh 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).
