Dental Implant Planning

• Understanding Your Dental Treatment Plan: Fostering informed decision-making through comprehensive patient education about their dental health status and available treatment pathways.
• Inlays & Onlays (Partial Crowns): Custom-fabricated porcelain or composite resin inlays (fitting precisely within the tooth cusps) and onlays (covering one or more cusps) to restore moderately damaged teeth while preserving maximum healthy tooth structure.
• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Fixed prosthetic solutions designed to effectively fill the gap left by missing teeth, thereby improving chewing ability, speech, and overall smile appearance.
• Dental Crowns (Caps): Placing custom-made dental crowns (caps) to cover, protect, and strengthen damaged, weakened, extensively filled, or root-canal-treated teeth, restoring their original shape, size, and appearance.

At ClinicOMS - Vaughan, 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. Hui frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches is a primary concern, Dr. Hui focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Through Dr. Hui's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple often find they can readily achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• Dr. Hui understands that dealing with waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and feeling their best.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Hui when they first notice a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Hui, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Hui is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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, 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 treatment at ClinicOMS - Vaughan.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Hui determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hui at ClinicOMS - Vaughan?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hui and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Hui will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
