At Park Lane Dental Care, 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. Ladha frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr. Ladha's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to often find they can readily achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
• Are you struggling with their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth? Dr. Ladha partners with patients to target their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing a much more achievable reality.
• At Dr. Ladha's clinic, addressing their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach means focusing on patient goals. Achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• When a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem, Dr. Ladha and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence and a return to comfort and confidence.

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 always 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. Ladha 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. Ladha at Park Lane Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Ladha 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. Ladha 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 to see a general dentist like Dr. Ladha?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Park Lane Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Ladha.

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

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

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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
