At Innisfil Dental Arts, 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. Lee frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option under Dr. Lee's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments without the former limitations or discomfort.
• With Dr. Lee's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is focused on achieving their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes without dental concerns.
• When their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought, Dr. Lee and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury with Dr. Lee's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Lee will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Lee'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 that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Lee will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Lee at Innisfil Dental Arts?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam: 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 needed X-rays. Dr. Lee will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if necessary. A professional cleaning will often be done during this visit or scheduled for 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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. Contact Innisfil Dental Arts directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lee.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Lee provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Lee may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Lee offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Lee understands dental anxiety. Innisfil Dental Arts offers various sedation options to help you relax. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on Dr. Lee's qualifications and your needs.
