At Fallingbrook 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. Singal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Singal's clinic, addressing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• Dr. Singal understands that dealing with 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 can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile and feeling their best.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Singal when they first notice a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain without hesitation.
• When persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Singal helps patients strive for their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This makes participating in activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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

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

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 Fallingbrook Dental Centre.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that 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. Singal determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singal at Fallingbrook Dental Centre?

At your first appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental issues or goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Singal will then explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Singal will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Singal's specific recommendations.
