At Fraserview Dental, 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is a primary concern, Dr. Singh focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Singh to see patients who were troubled by wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant successfully achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• Dr. Singh expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, means they can happily and comfortably get back to no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• At Dr. Singh's clinic, addressing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Fraserview Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Singh and the team at Fraserview Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Singh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 dental care provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental services performed in a hospital setting may be covered by MSP. Most dental costs are covered by private dental insurance plans (often provided through employers), out-of-pocket payments, or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to check your private dental insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you may qualify for before your treatment at Fraserview Dental.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Singh 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 such as whitening or bonding. Dr. Singh also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when necessary for more complex dental needs.

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

For most adults, regular check-ups and cleanings are recommended every six months. However, Dr. Singh will create a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may be able to have longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendations.

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, such as for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Singh will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Singh for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Fraserview Dental.
