At Markham Dental Group, 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. Huang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Huang understands that dealing with wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, helping patients comfortably get back to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern and feeling their best.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, involves working systematically towards no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. Dr. Huang expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• Through Dr. Huang's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially often find they can readily achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
• With Dr. Huang's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is focused on achieving feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem without dental concerns.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Huang is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Huang determines the frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Huang at Markham Dental Group?

Your first visit 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. Huang will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

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

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

No referral is typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Markham Dental Group directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Huang.
