At Conroy Dental Centre, 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. Le frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Le to see patients who were troubled by experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple successfully achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Are you struggling with a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection? Dr. Le partners with patients to target receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a much more achievable reality.
• The journey from a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces to wellness often involves Dr. Le's dedicated care. The milestone is having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, which opens the door back to activities such as their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them with Dr. Le's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences once more.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Le is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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, if offered). Dr. Le also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Le 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Le at Conroy Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Le 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. Le 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.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Le help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Le can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

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

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Le are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Le may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Le 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). Follow Dr. Le's specific recommendation.

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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
