IUD and Contraception
Taking control of your reproductive health shouldn’t be a clinical hurdle
Whether you are looking for long-term, “set-it-and-forget-it” protection or a daily method that fits your lifestyle, you need a consultation that is informative, gentle, and precise. Oasis Smile Medical provides comprehensive contraception counselling and expert IUD insertions across Canada to help you choose the right path for your body.
Benefits of Contraception Services at Oasis Smile Medical
Expert IUD Insertion
Our clinicians are highly experienced in the placement of both hormonal and copper IUDs. We prioritize your comfort by using specialized techniques and, where appropriate, offering pain management options to make the procedure as seamless as possible.
Personalized Matching
Not everybody reacts the same way to hormones. We take a full medical history—including your cycle patterns, skin concerns, and lifestyle—to match you with a method that minimizes side effects and maximizes efficacy.
Rapid Access & Continuity
We aim to eliminate long wait times. From your initial consultation to the insertion and follow-up string checks, we provide a streamlined timeline so you aren’t left unprotected.
Who Will Benefit From This Service?
This service is designed for individuals seeking reliable, medical-grade pregnancy prevention and cycle management. This is ideal for:
Long-Term Protection Seekers
Individuals interested in Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC), such as IUDs or implants, which provide 3 to 10 years of protection.
Hormone-Sensitive Individuals
Those looking for non-hormonal options, like the Copper IUD, to avoid the systemic side effects of estrogen or progestin.
Patients with Heavy Cycles
Individuals seeking hormonal IUDs (like Mirena or Kyleena) to significantly reduce menstrual bleeding and cramping.
Busy Professionals & Students
People who want to move away from daily pills and prefer a low-maintenance method that removes the risk of “human error.”
Postpartum Parents
New parents looking for safe, breastfeeding-compatible contraception options following their 6-week recovery check-up.
About Our IUD & Contraception Services
What is the difference between a Hormonal and Copper IUD?
Hormonal IUDs release a small amount of progestin locally to thin the uterine lining and thicken cervical mucus; they often lighten periods. Copper IUDs are 100% hormone-free and work by preventing sperm from reaching the egg; they are effective for up to 10 years.
Does IUD insertion hurt?
Most patients experience some cramping during and immediately after the procedure, similar to a strong menstrual cramp. We recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever before your appointment and can discuss local anesthetic options during your consultation.
How long does the insertion appointment take?
The actual insertion takes about 5 to 10 minutes. However, the full appointment lasts roughly 30 minutes to allow for a pre-procedure exam, the insertion, and a brief recovery period in-clinic.
Is contraception covered by provincial health insurance (like OHIP)?
While the doctor’s visit for the prescription or insertion is usually covered by provincial plans, the device or medication itself is typically not. Most private insurance plans cover the cost of IUDs and birth control pills.
Can I have an IUD removed or replaced at your clinic?
Yes. IUD removal is a very quick and simple process. If you are ready to conceive or wish to switch methods, we can perform the removal and discuss your next steps in a single visit.
What happens if I experience side effects?
We schedule follow-up appointments 4 to 6 weeks after an IUD insertion to ensure everything is positioned correctly. If you experience persistent side effects with any method, we work with you to find a better clinical alternative.
