At Dental Health Group, 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. Jindal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Jindal develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• For individuals troubled by a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr. Jindal's approach is focused on delivering their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance with a healthier smile.
• Dr. Jindal often consults with patients whose a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Jindal when they first notice a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Jindal, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Jindal is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 provided by 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jindal will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jindal 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. Follow Dr. Jindal's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Jindal provides primary dental care for all ages, offering services such as 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 may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jindal for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dental Health Group.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jindal at Dental Health Group?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Jindal will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
