• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).
• Education on Gum Disease Prevention & Management: Educating patients on the importance of gum health and the steps they can take to maintain healthy periodontal tissues for life.
• Dental Sealants: A simple and effective preventative measure to reduce the risk of cavities on the chewing surfaces of teeth.

• Custom Mouthguards (Sports & Night Guards for Bruxism): Personalized protective oral appliances, including athletic guards for impact protection and night guards to alleviate TMJ stress and prevent tooth wear.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Jain 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Jain also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jain at Lincoln Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Jain will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Jain will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. Patients can contact Lincoln Dental Care directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jain.

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. X-rays are only taken when necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Jain will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What is Lincoln Dental Care's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Jain. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Jain will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others may have slightly longer intervals between appointments.

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 performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Check your insurance coverage and eligibility for any government assistance programs.

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

Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. Dr. Jain can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Jain can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
