• The journey from a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection to wellness often involves Dr. Kaur's dedicated care.

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Kaur to see patients who were troubled by needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain successfully achieve their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• Dr. Kaur provides dedicated support for patients going through a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively, always aiming for positive outcomes like finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.

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.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. Patients can contact Smilemakerz directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kaur.

What payment options are available at Smilemakerz for dental services?

Smilemakerz accepts cash, debit, and major credit cards (Visa and MasterCard). If you have dental insurance, bring your policy information; the administrative team can help with claims. Financing options can be discussed for extensive treatment plans.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kaur will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at Smilemakerz?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals, and a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Kaur will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary, and Dr. Kaur will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They support replacement teeth. Good candidates have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and good general health. Dr. Kaur can assess your suitability. Dr. Kaur can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
