Dr. Yi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 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 individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Dr. Ju-Sung Yi Dental.

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Yi will recommend a personalized 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. Always follow Dr. Yi's specific recommendations.

No, a referral is typically not needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Dr. Ju-Sung Yi Dental directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Yi.

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.

Dr. Yi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
