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

A General Dentist like Dr. Yeh is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Yeh also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists when more complex needs arise. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Yeh will personalize this schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Yeh's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Yeh at Liberty Square Dental Centre?

At your first appointment, Dr. Yeh and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Yeh will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Liberty Square Dental Centre.

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 only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Yeh will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and adheres to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
