At N/A, 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. Lee frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Lee and the dental team. The clear aim is always feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr. Lee expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Patients experiencing a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Lee's practice, a key objective is their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Dr. Lee understands that dealing with having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, helping patients comfortably get back to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and feeling their best.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Lee at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Lee 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. Lee 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. 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at N/A.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Lee.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Lee will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Lee will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed if managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Lee's specific recommendation.
