Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Khehra in Langley
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Khehra?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Khehra for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Riviera Dental Clinic.
- 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 for the general public. 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 provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income 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 at Riviera Dental Clinic.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Khehra typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Khehra is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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 detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Khehra will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Khehra at Riviera Dental Clinic?
- Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Khehra will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Khehra for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Khehra will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those with active gum disease or high caries risk). Always follow Dr. Khehra's specific recommendations.
