At Avenue Dental Center, 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. Grewal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Grewal's practice, a key objective is their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Effectively addressing a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces with Dr. Grewal's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain and social interactions.
• If needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain is preventing you from fully enjoying travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies or causing discomfort, Dr. Grewal offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• A key objective when treating one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly at Dr. Grewal's welcoming dental clinic is achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.

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

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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Avenue Dental Center.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Grewal 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Grewal's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Grewal at Avenue Dental Center?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Grewal and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Grewal will then 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 using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Grewal will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
