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. Bai frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, Dr. Bai provides solutions that lead to receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Dr. Bai often consults with patients whose noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity significantly limits their enjoyment of participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Managing a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Bai and the dental team. The clear aim is always feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow at Dr. Bai's practice is consistently achieving transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.

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

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bai 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).

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

Your first visit with Dr. Bai 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. Bai 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 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact N/A directly.

Does N/A offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
