At Tanzil Dental Office, 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. Yip frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- For those affected by their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Yip provides solutions that lead to their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
- Through Dr. Yip's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma often find they can readily achieve their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
- Patients experiencing their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Yip's practice, a key objective is a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
- The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain, involves working systematically towards the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. Dr. Yip expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Yip, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Yip is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yip at Tanzil Dental Office?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Yip and the team at Tanzil Dental Office 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. Yip will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Yip for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Yip will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing active gum disease or high caries risk), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Yip's specific recommendations.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Yip typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Yip is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer 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 may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Yip also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Yip?
- Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact Tanzil Dental Office directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Yip.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr. Yip determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, following 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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs (e.g., for low-income children or seniors). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private dental insurance details before treatment.
