At Colonnade 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. Lun frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• 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 their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them, Dr. Lun and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The journey from simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning to wellness often involves Dr. Lun's dedicated care. The milestone is a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, which opens the door back to activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• For patients where their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is a primary concern, Dr. Lun 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 feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• When patients discuss a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, Dr. Lun outlines a path to feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Lun, 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, through programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 Colonnade Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Lun at Colonnade Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Lun and the team at Colonnade Dental 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. Lun will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Lun 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). Dr. Lun also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Lun will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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. Lun's specific recommendation is essential.

Dr. Lun 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).
