At Markham Dental - General and Cosmetic Dentistry, 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. Yoon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem is a common journey for patients under Dr. Yoon's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, so that daily routines and pleasures like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches at Dr. Yoon's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• The journey from a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal to wellness often involves Dr. Yoon's dedicated care. The milestone is their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Dr. Yoon expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, means they can happily and comfortably get back to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Yoon will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Yoon's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yoon at Markham Dental - General and Cosmetic Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Yoon and the team will focus on understanding you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken for a complete assessment. Dr. Yoon will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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 complex treatments). Dr. Yoon will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Markham Dental - General and Cosmetic Dentistry.
