At Aylmer Family Dental, 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. Varma frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Varma helps patients strive for the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This makes participating in activities such as their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness a pleasant and possible experience again.
• At Dr. Varma's clinic, addressing a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Dr. Varma expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• For those affected by a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma, Dr. Varma provides solutions that lead to feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Varma, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Varma 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).

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Varma at Aylmer Family Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Varma and the team at Aylmer Family Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Varma will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 through 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 before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Varma will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Varma's specific recommendation.
