At Meadow Dental Care, 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:

• Dr. Yip expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• Dr. Yip often consults with patients whose persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients experiencing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Yip's practice, a key objective is a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Are you struggling with a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal? Dr. Yip partners with patients to target experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance a much more achievable reality.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Meadow Dental Care's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Meadow Dental Care’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (905) 495-5400. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Yip or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Brampton area.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yip at Meadow Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Yip and the team at Meadow Dental Care 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.

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 through 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 before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Yip will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Yip's specific recommendation.

Does Meadow Dental Care offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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, 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.

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. Dr. Yip 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).
