At Dr. Wong Markham Dental, 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. Wong frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity or causing discomfort, Dr. Wong offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities, involves working systematically towards the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. Dr. Wong expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• Patients experiencing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Wong's practice, a key objective is their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury at Dr. Wong's practice is consistently achieving their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Wong 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).

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Always verify your coverage and check your insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Wong will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Wong's specific recommendation.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wong at Dr. Wong Markham Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: 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. Wong will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wong provides primary dental care, offering 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 may offer cosmetic procedures. They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
