At Balogh 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. Rawofi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr. Rawofi's approach is focused on delivering their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile with a healthier smile.
• Managing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Rawofi and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Understanding the frustration a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection can cause, Dr. Rawofi tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Dr. Rawofi provides dedicated support for patients going through wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, always aiming for positive outcomes like achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.

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, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Rawofi. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Rawofi identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Balogh Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rawofi at Balogh Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rawofi and the team at Balogh Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Rawofi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rawofi 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. Rawofi offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Rawofi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Balogh Dental offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Rawofi 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. Rawofi for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Rawofi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Rawofi's specific recommendation.

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