At Britannia-Mavis Family Dental Practice, 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. Bansal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli, Dr. Bansal offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Managing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Bansal and the dental team. The clear aim is always their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Bansal helps patients strive for their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This makes participating in activities such as singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is a common journey for patients under Dr. Bansal's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort become straightforward again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Bansal, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Bansal is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Britannia-Mavis Family Dental Practice directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Bansal.

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bansal at Britannia-Mavis Family Dental Practice?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Bansal and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Bansal will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Bansal 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Bansal may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Bansal offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Bansal understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Britannia-Mavis Family Dental Practice offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Bansal during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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. Bansal 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).
