At Emerald 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. Wang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients at Dr. Wang's welcoming dental clinic is achieving successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• Managing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Wang and the dental team. The clear aim is always a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr. Wang often consults with patients whose concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly significantly limits their enjoyment of their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr. Wang expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Wang, 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 used to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Wang 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. Wang?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Emerald Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wang.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wang is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Wang also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What is Emerald Dental Centre's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Wang. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Wang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Wang's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Wang and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Wang will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
