At N/A, 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. Kaur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, involves working systematically towards their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. Dr. Kaur expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Effectively addressing a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them with Dr. Kaur's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies and social interactions.
• Dr. Kaur understands that dealing with their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments and feeling their best.
• Understanding the frustration an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options can cause, Dr. Kaur tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kaur 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kaur.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Kaur 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Kaur's specific recommendation is essential.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at N/A?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Kaur will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
