At Liberty 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade under Dr. Singh's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies, Dr. Singh and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Singh develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• When persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Singh helps patients strive for feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity a pleasant and possible experience again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Singh, 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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Singh 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. Singh?

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

What payment options are available at Liberty Dental Centre for dental services?

At Liberty Dental Centre, we accept payment by cash, debit, and major credit cards (typically Visa and MasterCard). If you have dental insurance, please bring your policy information, and our administrative team will be happy to assist you with understanding your coverage and processing claims. For more extensive treatment plans, potential financing options can be discussed with our office manager.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Liberty Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Singh 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. Singh 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.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Liberty Dental Centre.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Singh offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Singh understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Liberty Dental Centre offers various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Singh during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Singh 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. Singh's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Singh 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.
