At N/A, 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. Sidhu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Sidhu about their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is to attain a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.
• Patients presenting with a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities under Dr. Sidhu's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Through Dr. Sidhu's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal often find they can readily achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Sidhu with concerns about their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral). By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, making a positive and lasting return to delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance not just possible, but highly feasible.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sidhu, 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. Sidhu typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Sidhu 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Sidhu also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sidhu at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sidhu and the team at N/A 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. Sidhu will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sidhu.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your coverage and check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment.

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

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

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