However, Dr. Razmavar will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Razmavar's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Razmavar at Highland Creek Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Razmavar and the team at Highland Creek Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

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 in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, maximums) before treatment.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Highland Creek Dental directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Razmavar.

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

Yes, Dr. Razmavar understands dental anxiety. Highland Creek Dental may offer various sedation options to help you relax, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Razmavar during your consultation so the most appropriate and safe sedation approach can be determined for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Razmavar provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Razmavar may also offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Dental X-rays are very 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, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr. Razmavar determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
