At Halton Village Dental, 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. Yadav frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Yadav develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• When noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums, Dr. Yadav and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Dr. Yadav understands that dealing with an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, helping patients comfortably get back to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain and feeling their best.
• Effectively addressing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem with Dr. Yadav's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and social interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Yadav, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Yadav is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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). Examples of such programs include Healthy Smiles Ontario. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Halton Village Dental.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yadav at Halton Village Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Yadav 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. Yadav 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Yadav 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Yadav may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

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

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr. Yadav will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Yadav's specific recommendation.
