At Wilson Dental Centre, 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. Ng frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Ng understands that dealing with a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions and feeling their best.
• If a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is preventing you from fully enjoying their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits or causing discomfort, Dr. Ng offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Understanding the frustration a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal can cause, Dr. Ng tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• Through Dr. Ng's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning often find they can readily achieve their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Ng 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ng at Wilson Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Ng 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. Ng 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ng is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, 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 if offered). Dr. Ng also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Ng may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Yes, Dr. Ng understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Wilson Dental Centre offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Ng during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Ng will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Ng's specific recommendation.
