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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kang 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. Kang 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. Kang 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).

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

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

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). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kang at Trillium Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kang 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 examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Kang will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Kang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Kang's specific recommendation.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Kang is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr. Kang identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.
