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

A General Dentist like Dr. Gill 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 treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease (gingivitis and mild periodontitis), and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Gill also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong and stable foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good overall health. Dr. Gill can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to determine your suitability for dental implants. Dr. Gill can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Gill at the clinic?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Gill and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr. Gill will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

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

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Gill will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended (and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance) to have a referral from your general dentist like Dr. Gill. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Gill feels you need specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

In BC, provincial health plans (like MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Gill will personalize your schedule based on your oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing gum disease), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Gill's specific recommendations.
