At North York Family Dentistry, 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Singh about a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation is to attain finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.

The clear aim is always feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Singh will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (such as cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendations.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Singh determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

This includes 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 may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Singh also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when needed. Dr. Singh may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP generally do NOT cover routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs (e.g., for low-income children or seniors). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at North York Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive 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 necessary X-rays. Dr. Singh will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
