At Steinberg Dental Centre, 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. Dhanoa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent, Dr. Dhanoa provides solutions that lead to their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Dr. Dhanoa expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, means they can happily and comfortably get back to biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• A key objective when treating an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention at Dr. Dhanoa's welcoming dental clinic is achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Dr. Dhanoa's comprehensive care for wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is meticulously designed to result in clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun without dental worries.

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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Steinberg Dental Centre.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Steinberg Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Dhanoa.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dhanoa 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Dhanoa's specific recommendation is essential.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Dhanoa offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Dhanoa understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Steinberg Dental Centre offers various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Dhanoa during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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. Dhanoa 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. Dhanoa at Steinberg Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dhanoa and the team at Steinberg Dental Centre 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Dhanoa will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
