At Finchwood Dental Clinic, 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr. Singh's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider is focused on achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings without dental concerns.
• Managing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Singh and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• At Dr. Singh's clinic, addressing the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Singh when they first notice wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, enabling them to once again enjoy their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance without hesitation.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Singh 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendation for optimal 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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Singh 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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is important 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.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Singh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Finchwood Dental Clinic.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Finchwood Dental Clinic?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Singh and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr. Singh 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. Singh typically provide?
