At West Humber Dentistry, 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. Kamra frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity at Dr. Kamra's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• For patients where wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation is a primary concern, Dr. Kamra focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Patients experiencing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Kamra's practice, a key objective is achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• Dr. Kamra often consults with patients whose a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kamra 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kamra 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Kamra's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kamra at West Humber Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Kamra will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact West Humber Dentistry directly.
