At Smile Dentistry at Herons Hill, 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. Rajgor frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Rajgor's practice, a key objective is their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Rajgor to see patients who were troubled by a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems successfully achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• A key objective when treating a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment at Dr. Rajgor's welcoming dental clinic is achieving clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• Understanding the frustration feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth can cause, Dr. Rajgor tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, allowing for renewed participation in activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Rajgor, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rajgor at Smile Dentistry at Herons Hill?

Your first visit with Dr. Rajgor 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. Rajgor 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.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Rajgor offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Rajgor understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Smile Dentistry at Herons Hill may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Rajgor during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Smile Dentistry at Herons Hill directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rajgor.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Rajgor 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) 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. Rajgor's specific recommendation.

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 before treatment.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rajgor 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Rajgor typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Rajgor 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
