At Dental Studio London North, 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. Mangat frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, Dr. Mangat outlines a path to gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• Dr. Mangat provides dedicated support for patients going through a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment, always aiming for positive outcomes like the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development, involves working systematically towards their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Mangat for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dental Studio London North.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Mangat will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Mangat's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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). We recommend verifying any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and checking the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Dental Studio London North.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mangat at Dental Studio London North?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Mangat and the team at Dental Studio London North 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. Mangat 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 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. Mangat 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Mangat typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Mangat is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
