• Dr. Gagnani understands that dealing with experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work and feeling their best.
• Effectively addressing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment with Dr. Gagnani's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance and social interactions.
• A key objective when treating an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear at Dr. Gagnani's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.

Dr. Gagnani expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Gagnani 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dr. Jana Sajner and Associates directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Gagnani.

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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Gagnani at Dr. Jana Sajner and Associates?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Gagnani and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Gagnani will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Gagnani will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Follow Dr. Gagnani's specific recommendation.
