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. Liew frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed with Dr. Liew's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and social interactions.
• For individuals troubled by wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent, Dr. Liew's approach is focused on delivering their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence with a healthier smile.
• Understanding the frustration an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options can cause, Dr. Liew tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), allowing for renewed participation in activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Liew 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 risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Liew's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Liew.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays use minimal radiation and are very safe. 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. Liew will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Yes, Dr. Liew understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, N/A may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Liew during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Liew are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Liew may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Liew and the team at N/A 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. Liew 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting 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). Always check your coverage and plan details before treatment.

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

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