At Meadowvale Family Dentistry, 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. Patel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is a primary concern, Dr. Patel focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear, involves working systematically towards finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. Dr. Patel expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.
• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is preventing you from fully enjoying their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth or causing discomfort, Dr. Patel offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Patel when they first notice their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, enabling them to once again enjoy their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Patel, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario and always verify your private dental insurance coverage details before treatment at Meadowvale Family Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Patel at Meadowvale Family Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Patel and the team at Meadowvale Family Dentistry 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. Patel will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Patel will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. Contact Meadowvale Family Dentistry directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Patel will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Patel's specific recommendations.

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