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. Bae frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth, involves working systematically towards experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). Dr. Bae expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

The primary aim is to achieve experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Bae often consults with patients whose noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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

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

Your first visit with Dr. Bae 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. Bae 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.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are a very safe diagnostic tool, 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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr. Bae 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 for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at N/A.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Bae 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 with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr. Bae's specific recommendations.
