At Dr. Aliya Rajwani'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. Rajwani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Rajwani with concerns about persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, making a positive and lasting return to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Are you struggling with experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth? Dr. Rajwani partners with patients to target their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped a much more achievable reality.
• If an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Rajwani develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, involves working systematically towards their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. Dr. Rajwani expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Rajwani, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Rajwani is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rajwani will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rajwani.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rajwani is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). Dr. Rajwani also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Rajwani may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with a Focus on TMJ, Bruxism & Orofacial Pain Management based on additional training.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In AB, provincial health plans (like 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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Rajwani will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Rajwani's specific recommendation.

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

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of medical and dental history, thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr. Rajwani will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
