- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tiwana at Altima Sunny View Dental Centre?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Tiwana and the team at Altima Sunny View Dental Centre will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Tiwana will 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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Tiwana 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).

- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In ON, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families).
