• Many people seek Dr. Seah's professional help and expertise when dealing with an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Patients presenting with a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation under Dr. Seah's experienced care.

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

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Seah will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Seah's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Seah at Forestbrook Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Seah will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Seah 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 for the general population. 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Forestbrook Dental.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Seah 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).
