At Dr. Gordon Schneider and associates, 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:

• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is preventing you from fully enjoying their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain or causing discomfort, Dr Kaur offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Kaur with concerns about an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their child participating happily in school photos and social activities not just possible, but highly feasible.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Kaur to see patients who were troubled by their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to successfully achieve achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• For individuals troubled by a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation, Dr Kaur's approach is focused on delivering their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings with a healthier smile.

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.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally 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. 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Kaur's specific recommendation is essential for optimal oral health.

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 Dr. Gordon Schneider and associates directly to arrange their visit with Dr Kaur.

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 taken only 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).

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like RAMQ 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 might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) 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. These include 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). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kaur at Dr. Gordon Schneider and associates?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.
