At Tooth Care Dental Centre, 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. Tabrizi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Tabrizi often consults with patients whose their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider significantly limits their enjoyment of their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Understanding the frustration their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities can cause, Dr. Tabrizi tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, allowing for renewed participation in activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• For patients where a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is a primary concern, Dr. Tabrizi focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• Patients presenting with their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area under Dr. Tabrizi's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them without the former limitations or discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Tabrizi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Tabrizi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tabrizi at Tooth Care Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Tabrizi 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. Tabrizi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Tabrizi 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. Tabrizi for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Tabrizi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Tabrizi's specific recommendation.

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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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. Tabrizi typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Tabrizi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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). General Dentists also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Tooth Care Dental Centre directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Tabrizi.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, like Dr. Tabrizi, is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Tabrizi identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Always check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

What is Tooth Care Dental Centre's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Tabrizi. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.
