At Village Green Family 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. Persaud frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is a primary concern, Dr. Persaud focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• Managing their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Persaud and the dental team. The clear aim is always achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr. Persaud often consults with patients whose a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile significantly limits their enjoyment of their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, enabling them to once again enjoy attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped without hesitation.

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

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 – Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Village Green Family Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Persaud will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Persaud’s specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Persaud provides primary dental care, offering services such as 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 complex needs. Dr. Persaud may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Persaud help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Persaud can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

Yes, Dr. Persaud understands dental anxiety. Village Green Family Dental may offer various sedation options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Persaud 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?

Dr. Persaud 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Persaud at Village Green Family Dental?
