As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Singh is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Caledon Orthodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Singh's comprehensive care for concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches is meticulously designed to result in their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without dental worries.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection is a common journey for patients under Dr. Singh's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work become straightforward again.
• Dr. Singh expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• The journey from a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered to wellness often involves Dr. Singh's dedicated care. The milestone is their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event, which opens the door back to activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Singh, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise. Dr. Singh is committed to providing the highest standard of specialized care, tailored to your individual needs.

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 at Caledon Orthodontics.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Caledon Orthodontics?

Your first visit with Dr. Singh will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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. Singh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Singh identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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 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. 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).

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 Caledon Orthodontics.

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 existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Always follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendation.
