What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Kwon typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Kwon is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Kwon also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Hopedale Dental Care.

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). Dr. Kwon determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kwon at Hopedale Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Kwon will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Kwon offer any sedation options?

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