At Lakeview Family 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. Oh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Oh about a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is to attain their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• With Dr. Oh's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is focused on achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort without dental concerns.
• Overcoming or effectively managing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent is a common journey for patients under Dr. Oh's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr. Oh's welcoming dental clinic is achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Oh will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Oh's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Oh at Lakeview Family Dental Center?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Oh and the team at Lakeview Family Dental Center 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. Oh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Lakeview Family Dental Center directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Oh.

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 also used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Oh 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).

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
