At The Esthene Dental Centre, 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. Panwar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr. Panwar provides solutions that lead to the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture with Dr. Panwar's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes once more.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact The Esthene Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Panwar.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at The Esthene Dental Centre.

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. Panwar 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Panwar at The Esthene Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Panwar and the team at The Esthene Dental Centre 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. Panwar 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. Panwar for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Panwar 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. Panwar's specific recommendation.

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

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
