At Dentistry of Richmond, 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. Abrishamkar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is a common journey for patients under Dr. Abrishamkar's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, so that daily routines and pleasures like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects become straightforward again.

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 provided by 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Dentistry of Richmond.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Abrishamkar at Dentistry of Richmond?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Abrishamkar and the team at Dentistry of Richmond 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. Abrishamkar 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. Abrishamkar for a check-up and cleaning?

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

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Abrishamkar will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Dentistry of Richmond directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Abrishamkar.
