At Townline 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Singh often consults with patients whose a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment significantly limits their enjoyment of confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Overcoming or effectively managing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances is a common journey for patients under Dr. Singh's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, so that daily routines and pleasures like participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard become straightforward again.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Singh to see patients who were troubled by a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal successfully achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Singh with concerns about their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, making a positive and lasting return to their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort not just possible, but highly feasible.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Singh, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Singh 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. Singh 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Townline Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Singh 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. Singh 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Singh 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). It is important to follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendation.

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

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

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). 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.
