Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Manocha in Brampton
- 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 Sandalwood Smiles Dentistry.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Manocha for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Manocha will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health 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), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Manocha's specific recommendations.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Manocha?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Manocha for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Sandalwood Smiles Dentistry.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Manocha at Sandalwood Smiles Dentistry?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Manocha and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Manocha will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- 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. Manocha will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Manocha typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Manocha 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.
