At Warmstone Family Dentistry, 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. Rahbar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Rahbar to see patients who were troubled by simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning successfully achieve their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• When patients discuss their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, Dr. Rahbar outlines a path to experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr. Rahbar's practice is consistently achieving a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• If a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite has unfortunately put actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Rahbar works closely with patients towards attaining their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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

Yes, Dr. Rahbar understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Warmstone Family Dentistry may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Rahbar during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rahbar will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is important to follow Dr. Rahbar's specific recommendations.

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

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Rahbar can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Rahbar can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rahbar is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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 may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Rahbar for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Warmstone Family Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rahbar at Warmstone Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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. Rahbar will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Rahbar will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to safety guidelines.
