At Summerllyn Dental Care, 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. Moon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit is a primary concern, Dr. Moon focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Moon when they first notice wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort without hesitation.
• Dr. Moon often consults with patients whose a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems significantly limits their enjoyment of maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr. Moon's comprehensive care for feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is meticulously designed to result in their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort without dental worries.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Moon at Summerllyn Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Moon and the team at Summerllyn Dental Care will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Moon will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Moon will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Moon's specific recommendations for 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 for the general population. 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 through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Summerllyn Dental Care.

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 any potential 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. Moon 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Moon typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Moon 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 treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. General dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex care is needed. Dr. Moon may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

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