At Humber 27 Dental Office, 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. Lad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Lad about a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is to attain their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, involves working systematically towards their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. Dr. Lad expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity is a common journey for patients under Dr. Lad's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, so that daily routines and pleasures like simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly become straightforward again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment, Dr. Lad offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Lad, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Lad 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. Lad for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Lad will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent oral health might have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Lad'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 that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Lad will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following 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 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Lad provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Lad at Humber 27 Dental Office?

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

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Humber 27 Dental Office.
