At Victoria Crossing Dental Centre, 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. Parsa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment under Dr. Parsa's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health without the former limitations or discomfort.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Parsa about their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is to attain a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.
• Are you struggling with needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect? Dr. Parsa partners with patients to target their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health a much more achievable reality.
• For patients where a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is a primary concern, Dr. Parsa focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Victoria Crossing Dental Centre.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Victoria Crossing Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Parsa.

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. Parsa 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Parsa will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Parsa's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Parsa at Victoria Crossing Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental issues/goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Parsa will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
