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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Lui 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. Lui will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Lui will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Lui?

Treatment time varies greatly depending on case complexity, patient age, appliance type, and patient compliance. Average treatment can range from 12-36 months. Dr. Lui will provide a personalized estimate after a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr. Lui identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Lui for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Lui will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.
