Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Kaur in Caledon
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Kaur typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Kaur 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, 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). Dr. Kaur also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often from employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

- What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?
