• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably, involves working systematically towards their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. Dr. Grewal expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Grewal at Dentistry@Preserve?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Grewal and the team at Dentistry@Preserve 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. Grewal will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dentistry@Preserve directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Grewal.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Yes, Dr. Grewal understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Dentistry@Preserve offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Grewal 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 using 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. Grewal will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to ALARA guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Grewal will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs and risk factors. Following Dr. Grewal's specific recommendation is important.

Does Dentistry@Preserve offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.
