At Wilson Dental Centre, 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. Son frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr. Son's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture often find they can readily achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment, involves working systematically towards finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. Dr. Son expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• Dr. Son understands that dealing with a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, helping patients comfortably get back to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain and feeling their best.
• A key objective when treating experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow at Dr. Son's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Son at Wilson Dental Centre?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Son and the team at Wilson Dental Centre 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. Son will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Son offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Son understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Wilson Dental Centre offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Son during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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). Always check your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Son is the primary dental care provider, offering preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns), basic endodontics (root canals), simple extractions, and initial gum disease management. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Son may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr. Son will personalize your schedule based on individual needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Contact Wilson Dental Centre directly.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially digital X-rays. Protective aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary, and Dr. Son will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors.
