At Glenashton Dental Center, 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. Bamrah frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults, Dr. Bamrah's approach is focused on delivering clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns.

• Patients experiencing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Bamrah's practice, a key objective is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Bamrah about the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is to attain experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• Through Dr. Bamrah'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 recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Glenashton Dental Center.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bamrah at Glenashton Dental Center?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Bamrah and the team at Glenashton Dental Center 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. Bamrah will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bamrah 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).

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Bamrah will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Bamrah's specific recommendation.
