At Doon South Dental, 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. Ing frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Ing's clinic, addressing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development means focusing on patient goals. Achieving the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• For individuals troubled by a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively, Dr. Ing's approach is focused on delivering having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth with a healthier smile.
• Patients experiencing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Ing's practice, a key objective is their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• If an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching has unfortunately put no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Ing works closely with patients towards attaining their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Ing typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Ing is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures (like teeth whitening or bonding). Dr. Ing also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by 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 programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Doon South Dental.

At your first appointment, Dr. Ing and the team will get to know you and your oral health.

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 only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Ing will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Ing will personalize your 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 longer intervals. Follow Dr. Ing's specific recommendations.
