What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Casey at Promontory Heights Dental?

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

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Casey determines the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Casey provides primary dental care for all ages. Services 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed.

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

No referral is typically needed to see a general dentist. Contact Promontory Heights Dental directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Casey.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Casey will personalize this schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and any existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk).

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Promontory Heights Dental's regular office hours?
