At Brockville Family 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. Won frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, involves working systematically towards their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. Dr. Won expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• Through Dr. Won's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching often find they can readily achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Won about an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is to attain the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• If a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Won develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Won, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Brockville Family Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Won.

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. Won 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).

Does Brockville Family Dentistry offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Won 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Dr. Won and our team at Brockville Family Dentistry are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Won.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Won will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Won's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Won at Brockville Family Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Won and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Won will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
