At Derry Family Dental, 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. Aujla frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Aujla about concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches is to attain their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• Patients presenting with ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue under Dr. Aujla's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Aujla helps patients strive for their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This makes participating in activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures a pleasant and possible experience again.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Aujla to see patients who were troubled by their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) successfully achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Derry Family Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Aujla.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Aujla at Derry Family Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Aujla and the team at Derry Family Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Aujla will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Aujla 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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Aujla will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Aujla's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Aujla 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, 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). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

Does Derry Family Dental offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

Yes, for your convenience, Derry Family Dental offers direct billing (also known as assignment of benefits) to most major dental insurance companies. This means we can submit your claim electronically directly to your insurer at the time of your appointment. You would then typically be responsible for paying any co-payment, deductible, or the portion of the fee not covered by your specific plan at the time of service. Please bring all your current insurance information (policy number, group number, ID number) to your appointment so we can assist you.

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

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. Dr. Aujla can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Aujla offers implant consultations and can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
