Dental Pain Emergency

Tooth Decay Cavities

• Dental Caries (Cavities / Tooth Decay): Localized destruction of tooth structure caused by acid-producing bacteria, requiring removal of decay and restorative filling.

Gum Disease Initial

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Wang. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).
• Dental Crowns (Caps): Full-coverage restorations crafted from materials like porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or gold to encase and reinforce a compromised tooth for long-term durability.
• Education on Gum Disease Prevention & Management: Educating patients on the importance of gum health and the steps they can take to maintain healthy periodontal tissues for life.
• Dentures (Complete & Partial, Conventional & Implant-Supported): Customized full and partial dentures, carefully crafted to help patients regain confidence in their smile, ability to eat a varied diet, and speak clearly.
• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Custom-crafted bridges providing a stable, functional, and natural-looking replacement for lost teeth, preventing shifting of remaining teeth.

At Bridle Post Dental, 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:

• If a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively is preventing you from fully enjoying their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits or causing discomfort, Dr. Wang offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• The journey from a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma to wellness often involves Dr. Wang's dedicated care. The milestone is the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, which opens the door back to activities such as knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• Patients experiencing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Wang's practice, a key objective is their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr. Wang's practice is consistently achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

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. Dr. Wang is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Bridle Post Dental.

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. 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. 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).

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

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

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

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

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr. Wang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Wang's specific recommendation.
