At Foxcreek 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. Le frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, involves working systematically towards being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. Dr. Le expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr. Le offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• Understanding the frustration an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching can cause, Dr. Le tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, allowing for renewed participation in activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• If needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Le develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Le, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Foxcreek Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Le 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Le's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Le is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Le also provides patient education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Le may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Le 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Foxcreek Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Le.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Le at Foxcreek Dental?

This includes reviewing 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. Le will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
