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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Yousefi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a general dentist for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They support fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable (dentures) replacement teeth. Good candidates have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr. Yousefi can perform a comprehensive assessment, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Yousefi can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

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

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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. Yousefi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Yousefi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Yousefi's specific recommendation.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Yousefi offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Yousefi understands dental anxiety. Rose Hill Dental may offer various sedation options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Yousefi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
