At Smiles on Donmills Dental Clinic, 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. Masouleh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them is a common journey for patients under Dr. Masouleh's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, so that daily routines and pleasures like easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums become straightforward again.
• If a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Masouleh develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort, involves working systematically towards feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth. Dr. Masouleh expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• When an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Masouleh helps patients strive for their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This makes participating in activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Smiles on Donmills Dental Clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Masouleh.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Masouleh 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Masouleh at Smiles on Donmills Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Masouleh 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. Masouleh 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.

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Masouleh 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Masouleh's specific recommendation.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr. Masouleh. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at Smiles on Donmills Dental Clinic. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr. Masouleh might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Masouleh 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.
