At Dr. Amandeep Singh'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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain, involves working systematically towards a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. Dr. Singh expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach, Dr. Singh offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Singh with concerns about a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, making a positive and lasting return to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Singh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Singh 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. Singh?

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. Singh.

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

In Alberta, provincial health plans like 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). It is strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at the clinic.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Singh will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Singh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
