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. Wong frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns at Dr. Wong's practice is consistently achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Understanding the frustration a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively can cause, Dr. Wong tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, allowing for renewed participation in activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.

• Dr. Wong often consults with patients whose their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort significantly limits their enjoyment of maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Wong will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For instance, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Wong's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 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 through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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 necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Wong will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Wong for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with N/A.
