At Tooth Buds Dentistry, 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:

• Dr. Kaur understands that dealing with a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile and feeling their best.
• Effectively addressing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain with Dr. Kaur's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet and social interactions.
• If a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work or causing discomfort, Dr. Kaur offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• The journey from a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable to wellness often involves Dr. Kaur's dedicated care. The milestone is finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, which opens the door back to activities such as playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at Tooth Buds Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kaur and the team at Tooth Buds Dentistry 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. Kaur 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 used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kaur 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). Dr. Kaur also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendations.

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

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