At N/A, 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. Kaur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Kaur with concerns about their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, making a positive and lasting return to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Dr. Kaur provides dedicated support for patients going through their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, always aiming for positive outcomes like their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
• For individuals troubled by needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, Dr. Kaur's approach is focused on delivering their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth with a healthier smile.
• Understanding the frustration wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent can cause, Dr. Kaur tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, allowing for renewed participation in activities like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.

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

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, if offered). Dr. Kaur also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Kaur offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Kaur understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, N/A may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Kaur during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Always check your private dental insurance details and eligibility for any potential public coverage before starting treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kaur.

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. Dr. Kaur 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at N/A?

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. Kaur will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
