At Heritage Dental Care, 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. Park frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem, Dr. Park and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options is a common journey for patients under Dr. Park's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), so that daily routines and pleasures like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding become straightforward again.
• Through Dr. Park's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem often find they can readily achieve having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr. Park offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.

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 to further minimize exposure. 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. Park 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Park at Heritage Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Park and the team at Heritage Dental Care 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. Park 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. Park?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Park for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Heritage Dental Care.

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). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Park will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Park's specific recommendation.
