At Urban Dental Centre, 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. Advani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Advani about a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is to attain experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) with Dr. Advani's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions once more.
• If a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine or causing discomfort, Dr. Advani offers expert dental solutions.

• The journey from their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort to wellness often involves Dr. Advani's dedicated care.

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 further minimize 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. Advani 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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