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. Dua frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Dua's practice, a key objective is their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• If wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile or causing discomfort, Dr. Dua offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Dua expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, means they can happily and comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is a common journey for patients under Dr. Dua's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues become straightforward again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Dua, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr. Dua is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Dua will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Dua's specific recommendations.

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr. Dua determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

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. Dua.

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

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening); and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Dua will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your coverage and eligibility before treatment.
