At Canadian Place 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. Garcha frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, involves working systematically towards feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques. Dr. Garcha expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth at Dr. Garcha's practice is consistently achieving their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• If a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma has unfortunately put feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Garcha works closely with patients towards attaining their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• With Dr. Garcha's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems is focused on achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes without dental concerns.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Garcha, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Garcha 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 treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Garcha will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. Always follow Dr. Garcha's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Garcha at Canadian Place Dentistry?

At your first appointment, Dr. Garcha and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Garcha will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment.

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 dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Garcha will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Garcha for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Canadian Place Dentistry.
