• Need for Routine Dental Check-up & Cleaning: Understanding the importance of routine examinations and professional cleanings for long-term dental wellness.

• Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease): Managing bleeding, swollen, or tender gums through hygiene therapy and patient education.

Special Needs Dental Care Peds

• Dental Care for Children & Adolescents with Special Healthcare Needs (Physical, Cognitive, Behavioral, Medical): Requiring specialized dental management and a tailored care approach for children and adolescents with underlying medical conditions (e.g., congenital heart disease, bleeding disorders, immunocompromise), physical disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy), cognitive or developmental challenges (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome), or significant behavioral issues that make routine dental treatment difficult.
• Dental Care for Medically Compromised Children: Children with significant systemic health conditions (e.g., organ transplants, cancer, uncontrolled diabetes) who require careful dental management and coordination with their medical specialists to prevent oral complications and ensure dental treatments are performed safely.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Wong. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Dental Photography & Intraoral Camera Imaging: Intraoral camera technology to allow you to see what your dentist sees, facilitating better understanding of your oral health.
• Root Canal Treatment (Non-Surgical Endodontics - Uncomplicated Cases): Treatment involving the removal of infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent reinfection, often for less complex endodontic cases.
• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Fixed prosthetic solutions designed to effectively fill the gap left by missing teeth, thereby improving chewing ability, speech, and overall smile appearance.
• Dental Bonding (Composite Resin Veneers/Restorations): Artistic application and sculpting of tooth-coloured composite resin directly onto teeth to repair chips, close small gaps (diastemas), improve tooth shape, lengthen teeth, or cover discolouration, typically completed in a single dental visit.
• Simple Tooth Extractions (Non-Surgical): Standard tooth removal procedures for non-impacted teeth that do not require complex surgical intervention.

At Green Lane 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. Wong frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling with Dr. Wong's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought and social interactions.
• Dr. Wong often consults with patients whose an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients experiencing their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Wong's practice, a key objective is transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• For individuals troubled by a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain, Dr. Wong's approach is focused on delivering the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health with a healthier smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Wong, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Wong is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Wong 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Wong 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Wong's specific recommendation is crucial.

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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Always verify your coverage and check your insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wong is the primary dental care provider, 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. Wong may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wong at Green Lane Dental?

At your first appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Wong will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to see a general dentist. You can contact Green Lane Dental directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Wong.
