At Weston Tulip 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. Samani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Samani helps patients strive for their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This makes participating in activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For individuals troubled by a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile, Dr. Samani's approach is focused on delivering their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern with a healthier smile.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Samani when they first notice an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without hesitation.
• Through Dr. Samani's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long often find they can readily achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Samani, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral 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 review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Weston Tulip Dental.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Weston Tulip Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Samani.

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. Samani 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).

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

Dr. Samani and our team at Weston Tulip Dental are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Samani. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Samani 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Samani at Weston Tulip Dental?

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