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. Patel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Patel and the dental team. The clear aim is always their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Patel when they first notice concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty without hesitation.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is a common journey for patients under Dr. Patel's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), so that daily routines and pleasures like their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them become straightforward again.
• Dr. Patel often consults with patients whose a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal significantly limits their enjoyment of enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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 to further minimize exposure. 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. Patel 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).

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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Patel will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need more frequent visits, while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Patel for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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

Yes, Dr. Patel understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, N/A may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Patel during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What payment options are available at N/A for dental services?

Payment is typically due at the time services are provided. N/A accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. We are also experienced in handling claims for most private dental insurance plans. For details on payment plans for larger treatments, please speak with our administrative staff.

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

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Patel will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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