At Lormel Gate 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. Gandhi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding, Dr. Gandhi's approach is focused on delivering experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth with a healthier smile.
• Dr. Gandhi expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, means they can happily and comfortably get back to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Gandhi about a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment is to attain their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• If an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects or causing discomfort, Dr. Gandhi offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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. Gandhi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Gandhi at Lormel Gate Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Gandhi and the team at Lormel Gate Dentistry will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Gandhi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time 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 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Gandhi 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. Gandhi's specific recommendation.
