At Dentistry on Queen, 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. Badhwar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, Dr. Badhwar provides solutions that lead to their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Badhwar with concerns about a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth not just possible, but highly feasible.
• For patients where their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is a primary concern, Dr. Badhwar focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, involves working systematically towards receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dr. Badhwar expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

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

Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Badhwar during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 any potential 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. Badhwar 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. Badhwar at Dentistry on Queen?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Badhwar and the team at Dentistry on Queen 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. Badhwar 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. Badhwar for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Badhwar will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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 might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Badhwar's specific recommendation is key.

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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

A General Dentist like Dr. Badhwar is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding).
