As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Ng is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Wilson Dental Centre, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is a common journey for patients under Dr. Ng's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, so that daily routines and pleasures like their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness become straightforward again.
• With Dr. Ng's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort is focused on achieving their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort without dental concerns.
• When patients discuss a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, Dr. Ng outlines a path to understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• At Dr. Ng's clinic, addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.

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 always 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. Ng 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).

Does Wilson Dental Centre offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Wilson Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Ng.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Ng. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Ng identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ng at Wilson Dental Centre?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Ng will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Ng will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Ng's specific recommendation.

How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Ng?

Treatment time varies greatly depending on case complexity, patient age, appliance type, and patient compliance. Average treatment can range from 12-36 months. Dr. Ng will provide a personalized estimate after a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.
