At N/A, 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. Dhillon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time, involves working systematically towards their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. Dr. Dhillon expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Effectively addressing an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention with Dr. Dhillon's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile and social interactions.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Dhillon when they first notice a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort without hesitation.
• For those affected by their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation, Dr. Dhillon provides solutions that lead to achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Dhillon at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dhillon and the team at N/A 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. Dhillon will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Dhillon will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's essential to follow Dr. Dhillon's specific recommendations.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr. Dhillon are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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 provided by 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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. Dhillon 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. Dhillon typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Dhillon is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.
