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

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

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Aggarwal. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Aggarwal identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment.

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

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

For most patients, preventative care check-ups are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Aggarwal will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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. Aggarwal's specific recommendation.

How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Aggarwal?

Treatment time varies greatly depending on case complexity, patient age, appliance type, and patient compliance. Average treatment can range from 12-36 months. Dr. Aggarwal will provide a personalized estimate after a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Aggarwal at Bronte Family Orthodontics?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Aggarwal and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Aggarwal will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
