Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Soni in London
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Soni?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Soni.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Soni for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Soni will personalize your schedule based on your 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 more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Soni's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Soni typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Soni is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Soni also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Soni will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Soni at N/A?
- At your first visit, Dr. Soni and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Soni will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP generally do NOT cover routine or major dental procedures in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
