At Lakeshore Dentistry, 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. Garg frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It’s always a professional highlight for Dr. Garg to see patients who were troubled by an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected successfully achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• If feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Garg develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• Through Dr. Garg’s skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered often find they can readily achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• If a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is preventing you from fully enjoying their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection or causing discomfort, Dr. Garg offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Garg at Lakeshore Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Garg 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. Garg 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.

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

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 before treatment.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Garg will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Garg’s specific recommendation.
