• Managing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Sharma and the dental team. The clear aim is always their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr. Sharma offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized.

A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, means they can happily and comfortably get back to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• Many people seek Dr. Sharma's professional help and expertise when dealing with needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sharma is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Sharma also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists when more complex needs arise. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Sharma for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Avondale Dental Office.

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 provided by 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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario and always verify your private dental insurance coverage details before treatment at Avondale Dental Office.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sharma 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 may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Sharma's specific recommendations.

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 necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sharma will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: 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. Sharma will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
