Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Garcha in Mississauga
- 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.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Garcha?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Garcha for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Garcha for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Garcha will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Garcha's specific recommendations.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Garcha at N/A?
- At your first appointment, expect to complete a medical history form and discuss any dental concerns or goals. Dr. Garcha will then perform a thorough examination of your mouth, and digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Garcha will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment. This is a good opportunity to ask questions.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Garcha typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Garcha provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial gum disease management, and potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex cases.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
