At Escarpment View 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. Tran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Tran about a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment is to attain their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Dr. Tran understands that dealing with a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions and feeling their best.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long, Dr. Tran offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.
• For individuals troubled by an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected, Dr. Tran's approach is focused on delivering achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends with a healthier smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Tran, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Tran 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 Escarpment View Dental.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Tran offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Tran understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Escarpment View Dental may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Tran during your consultation so that they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tran at Escarpment View Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Tran 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. Tran 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.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Tran 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. Tran for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Tran 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). Follow Dr. Tran's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Tran for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Escarpment View Dental.
