At N/A, 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. Hui frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development at Dr. Hui's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at N/A.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hui 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 may also include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Hui for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Hui will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (for cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Hui's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hui at N/A?

At your first appointment, Dr. Hui and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Hui will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Hui determines the frequency based on your individual needs and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
