At Rose 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. Modiri frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr. Modiri's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches often find they can readily achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• Dr. Modiri often consults with patients whose a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food significantly limits their enjoyment of enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients presenting with experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health under Dr. Modiri's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The journey from a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially to wellness often involves Dr. Modiri's dedicated care. The milestone is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which opens the door back to activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.

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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Modiri and the team at Rose Hill Dental 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. Modiri will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Rose Hill Dental.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Modiri for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Rose Hill 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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Modiri 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. Modiri for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Modiri will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's essential to follow Dr. Modiri's specific recommendation.
