• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns, Dr. Sharma offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment.

• A key objective when treating an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching at Dr. Sharma's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother.

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 knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage without hesitation.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Sharma 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see Dr. Sharma for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Oasis Orthodontics.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sharma at Oasis Orthodontics?

Your first appointment will involve a medical history review, discussion of your dental concerns, a detailed oral examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Sharma will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sharma will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Sharma's specific recommendation.
