At Avondale Dental Office, 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. Narula frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Narula develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Narula when they first notice wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun without hesitation.
• Dr. Narula expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, means they can happily and comfortably get back to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• Patients presenting with experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence under Dr. Narula's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for optimal preventative care. However, Dr. Narula will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Narula's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Narula at Avondale Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Narula and the team at Avondale Dental Office 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. Narula will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Narula 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).

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Narula 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. Dr. Narula may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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, through private dental insurance plans, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
