At Forest Manor 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. Liu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Liu helps patients strive for their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This makes participating in activities such as their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients experiencing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Liu's practice, a key objective is their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is a common journey for patients under Dr. Liu's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, so that daily routines and pleasures like concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort become straightforward again.
• Patients presenting with a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision under Dr. Liu's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Liu at Forest Manor Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Liu 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. Liu 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.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Liu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Liu's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Liu 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 Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Forest Manor Dental.
