At Respond 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. Roodsar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Understanding the frustration a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal can cause, Dr. Roodsar tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, allowing for renewed participation in activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow, involves working systematically towards an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. Dr. Roodsar expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Dr. Roodsar understands that dealing with a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day and feeling their best.
• For those affected by their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), Dr. Roodsar provides solutions that lead to a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.

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

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Respond 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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Roodsar 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. Roodsar for a check-up and cleaning?

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

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

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Roodsar may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Roodsar for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Respond Dental.
