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. Arora frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr. Arora's professional help and expertise when dealing with experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• At Dr. Arora's clinic, addressing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• The journey from an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching to wellness often involves Dr. Arora's dedicated care. The milestone is their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, which opens the door back to activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• A key objective when treating a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr. Arora's welcoming dental clinic is achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Arora will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Arora’s specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Arora for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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 also used to minimize any potential 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. Arora 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Arora typically provide?

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

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

Your first visit with Dr. Arora 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. Arora 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.

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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.
