As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Jindal is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Dentalign Orthodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

  • The primary focus for patients seeking help for concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly at Dr. Jindal's practice is consistently achieving the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
  • For patients where wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation is a primary concern, Dr. Jindal focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
  • Understanding the frustration their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can cause, Dr. Jindal tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
  • At Dr. Jindal's clinic, addressing their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jindal at Dentalign Orthodontics?
Your first visit with Dr. Jindal 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. Jindal 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.
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. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Jindal 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.
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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jindal 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. Jindal for a check-up and cleaning?
For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jindal 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr. Jindal's specific recommendations.
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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jindal?
No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Jindal for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dentalign Orthodontics.
