As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Ee is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Aurora Endodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is a primary concern, Dr. Ee focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• At Dr. Ee's clinic, addressing concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history means focusing on patient goals. Achieving 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) helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• When patients discuss noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity, Dr. Ee outlines a path to the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• When a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile, Dr. Ee and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable and a return to comfort and confidence.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ee at Aurora Endodontics?

Your first visit with Dr. Ee will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Ee will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Ee will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Ee's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 by OHIP. 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 any potential public coverage and always review the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

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

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Ee 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).
