At Dr. Ahmed D. Mohamed's practice, 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. Mohamed frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- For those affected by recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, Dr. Mohamed provides solutions that lead to a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
- The journey from a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment to wellness often involves Dr. Mohamed's dedicated care. The milestone is their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, which opens the door back to activities such as their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.
- The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, involves working systematically towards their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. Dr. Mohamed expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
- For individuals troubled by their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), Dr. Mohamed's approach is focused on delivering clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them with a healthier smile.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Mohamed, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Mohamed is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.
Dr. Mohamed's practice, a dental office in Red Deer, is situated in the North Red Deer (Normandeau, Highland Green) neighborhood.

- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Mohamed for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for optimal preventative care. However, Dr. Mohamed will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Mohamed's specific recommendations.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Mohamed?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Mohamed for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mohamed at the clinic?
- Your first visit will begin with completing a medical history form and discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Mohamed. A thorough examination of your mouth will follow, including digital X-rays (if necessary). Dr. Mohamed will then explain their assessment and recommend any needed treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Mohamed will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
