At Torbram and Countryside Dental, 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. Kahlon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Kahlon about needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth is to attain their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• A key objective when treating a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma at Dr. Kahlon's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• At Dr. Kahlon's clinic, addressing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Kahlon offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kahlon at Torbram and Countryside Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Kahlon 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. Kahlon 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.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Kahlon 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. Kahlon's specific recommendation.

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

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

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 by OHIP. 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). Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for (such as Healthy Smiles Ontario) and always check the details of their private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Kahlon 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).
