At N/A, 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. Arora frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably is a common journey for patients under Dr. Arora's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, so that daily routines and pleasures like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health become straightforward again.
• Are you struggling with noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity? Dr. Arora partners with patients to target a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems a much more achievable reality.
• A key objective when treating a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment at Dr. Arora's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• For those affected by their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, Dr. Arora provides solutions that lead to their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Arora 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 if offered). Dr. Arora also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Arora.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Always verify potential public coverage and check 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 using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Arora 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Arora at N/A?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Arora will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Arora will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Arora's specific recommendation.
