At EviDental Smiles, 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. Jung frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations or causing discomfort, Dr. Jung offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Jung's comprehensive care for a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is meticulously designed to result in a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain without dental worries.
• Dr. Jung provides dedicated support for patients going through experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding with Dr. Jung's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath once more.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jung will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Jung's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact EviDental Smiles directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Jung.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jung at EviDental Smiles?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Jung and the team at EviDental Smiles 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. Jung will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Jung 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).

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 provided by 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at EviDental Smiles.
