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. Lee frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Lee develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• Dr. Lee understands that dealing with feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine and feeling their best.
• A key objective when treating an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath at Dr. Lee's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• With Dr. Lee's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is focused on achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile without dental concerns.

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

Dr. Lee's practice, which is N/A, is situated in the Erindale, Credit Woodlands neighborhood of Mississauga. The clinic is conveniently located near Iceland Mississauga Arena and is accessible via MiWay (Mississauga Transit). Convenient patient parking is typically available near the clinic.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Lee will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Lee's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by 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 their eligibility for any potential public coverage and always check their private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at N/A.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Lee 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. Lee?

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. Lee.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Lee 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. Lee will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
