At N/A, 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. Hang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Hang's practice, a key objective is their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• When a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Hang helps patients strive for a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This makes participating in activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr. Hang expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• 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. Hang focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Hang.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Hang 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. Hang at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Hang 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. Hang 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. Hang for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Hang will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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. It is important to follow Dr. Hang's specific recommendation.

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). Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and check their private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.
