At Town 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. Chiu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Chiu about a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is to attain a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Dr. Chiu provides dedicated support for patients going through a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, always aiming for positive outcomes like feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
• Are you struggling with needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional? Dr. Chiu partners with patients to target achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth a much more achievable reality.
• For those affected by concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, Dr. Chiu provides solutions that lead to their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Chiu, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chiu at Town Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Chiu 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. Chiu 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.

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, and annual maximums) before treatment at Town Dental.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Chiu is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Chiu 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. Chiu?

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Chiu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Chiu's specific recommendations.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Chiu 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).
