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. He 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 begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. He helps patients strive for their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This makes participating in activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options, involves working systematically towards their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. Dr. He expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. He to see patients who were troubled by a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients successfully achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• Patients presenting with needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness under Dr. He's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. He 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).

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

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. He.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. He at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. He and the team at N/A 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. He 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. He for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. He will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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. He's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. He 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
