At CanSmile 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. Chandy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Chandy expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Chandy to see patients who were troubled by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth successfully achieve their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Patients experiencing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Chandy's practice, a key objective is their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• Are you struggling with their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably? Dr. Chandy partners with patients to target their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances a much more achievable reality.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chandy at CanSmile Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Chandy 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. Chandy 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.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Chandy offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Chandy focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

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

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 to minimize any potential exposure. 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. Chandy 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Chandy 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Chandy will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Chandy's specific recommendation.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CanSmile Dental's regular office hours?
