At Kensington Dental Office, 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. Pantlia frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr. Pantlia's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding often find they can readily achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• If their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession is preventing you from fully enjoying their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr. Pantlia offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Managing a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Pantlia and the dental team. The clear aim is always their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Are you struggling with feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth? Dr. Pantlia partners with patients to target clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them a much more achievable reality.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Pantlia at Kensington Dental Office?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Pantlia and the team at Kensington Dental Office 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. Pantlia will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Pantlia 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. Pantlia will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. For example, those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Pantlia's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

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

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 used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr. Pantlia will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Pantlia is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. These include 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). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed for more complex cases.

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 in private dental 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 programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, some seniors). Check your eligibility for any public programs and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Kensington Dental Office.
