At Campbell Dental Group, 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. Chin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Chin understands that dealing with an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, helping patients comfortably get back to their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues and feeling their best.
• For patients where needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional is a primary concern, Dr. Chin focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Understanding the frustration experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth can cause, Dr. Chin tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, allowing for renewed participation in activities like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Chin for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Campbell Dental Group.

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 provided by 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Campbell Dental Group.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Chin determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Chin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Chin's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chin at Campbell Dental Group?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 necessary X-rays. Dr. Chin will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
