Our Philosophy of Care
Thoughtful, Responsible, and Patient-Centered Orthodontic Care
Dr. Ramesh Agrawal is a general dentist providing orthodontic care to patients across several partnering practices in Scarborough, Pickering, Woodbridge, Stouffville, and Carleton Place. His philosophy is guided by professionalism, respect, ethical practice, patient safety, and clear communication.
We believe that every patient deserves care that is considerate, transparent, and grounded in sound clinical judgment. Our role is to support patients and families in understanding their options and helping them make informed decisions in collaboration with their primary dental care providers.
Our Commitment
- To provide orthodontic care as a general dentist team in a responsible and patient-centered manner
- To communicate openly and honestly about treatment options
- To collaborate with your general dental office for continuity of care
- To prioritize patient safety, ethical practice, and informed decision-making
- To support patients and families throughout treatment with thoughtful guidance
What Guides Our Care
Patient-Focused Care
We listen to patients, understand concerns, and involve families in discussions about treatment. Care decisions are made thoughtfully, with patient well-being as the primary focus.
Safe, Ethical, and Responsible Practice
Treatment recommendations are based on appropriate clinical assessment and professional judgment. Cases are planned carefully, and when a situation requires care beyond our scope, referral to the appropriate provider is discussed.
Clear Communication and Informed Choices
We aim to explain treatment options, expected timelines, benefits, limitations, and responsibilities in clear, understandable terms. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and remain actively involved throughout their care.
Collaboration With Your Dental Home
Orthodontic care is provided in collaboration with partnering general dental offices. Your primary general dentist remains involved in your overall dental health. We work closely with each practice team to support continuity and coordinated care.
Evidence-Informed Approach
We remain committed to using current knowledge, responsible treatment planning, and an individualized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Accessible Community-Based Care
By providing orthodontic services within existing dental offices across multiple locations, our goal is to make care available in familiar, accessible environments while maintaining structured systems to support ongoing treatment.
Respectful and Inclusive Care
We are committed to treating every patient with dignity, kindness, and professionalism, creating an environment where patients feel supported throughout their orthodontic journey.
