At Alpha Dental Care, 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. Bhamra frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially at Dr. Bhamra's practice is consistently achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• A key objective when treating 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) at Dr. Bhamra's welcoming dental clinic is achieving achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Through Dr. Bhamra's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns often find they can readily achieve transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• When patients discuss concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, Dr. Bhamra outlines a path to having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Bhamra 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. Bhamra will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Bhamra's specific recommendations.

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 necessary for diagnosis, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Bhamra determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bhamra at Alpha Dental Care?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Bhamra will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private insurance details before treatment.

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

No referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Alpha Dental Care directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Bhamra.
