• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Sadeghi to see patients who were troubled by their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession successfully achieve achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• If a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively has unfortunately put travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Sadeghi works closely with patients towards attaining the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

In British Columbia, the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically does not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before commencing treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sadeghi. Patients can contact the clinic directly to arrange a visit.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Sadeghi determines the frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Sadeghi will personalize this schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others might have longer intervals. Following Dr. Sadeghi's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

Your first appointment will involve completing a medical history form, discussing dental concerns and goals, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Sadeghi will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. This is an opportunity to ask questions.
