At Woodstream Dental, 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. Kan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr. Kan's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them is focused on achieving the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort without dental concerns.
• Are you struggling with their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention? Dr. Kan partners with patients to target their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile a much more achievable reality.
• For those affected by concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, Dr. Kan provides solutions that lead to finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• At Dr. Kan's clinic, addressing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Kan, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Woodstream Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kan.

What is Woodstream Dental's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Kan. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than the requested notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50-$100. Specific fee information is available from the clinic. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kan 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. Kan also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Kan will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr. Kan's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kan at Woodstream Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kan and the team at Woodstream Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Kan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Kan can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Kan can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kan 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).

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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
