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. Yee frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Yee's clinic, addressing experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• For those affected by a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food, Dr. Yee provides solutions that lead to experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.
• Patients experiencing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Yee's practice, a key objective is 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), which directly supports their ability to fully engage in resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• Dr. Yee expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

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

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

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. Yee.

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, social assistance recipients, Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify potential public coverage and check 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 using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Yee 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Yee will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Yee's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history form, discussion of dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Yee will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
