At Ottawa Public Health, 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. Juneja frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Juneja often consults with patients whose a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment significantly limits their enjoyment of travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Juneja when they first notice a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances without hesitation.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling is a common journey for patients under Dr. Juneja's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, so that daily routines and pleasures like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage become straightforward again.
• Dr. Juneja understands that dealing with a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, helping patients comfortably get back to confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities and feeling their best.

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

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Juneja 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. Juneja?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Ottawa Public Health directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Juneja.

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Juneja at Ottawa Public Health?

Your first visit with Dr. Juneja 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. Juneja will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Juneja will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Juneja's specific recommendation.
