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

• The journey from a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment to wellness often involves Dr. Sajan's dedicated care. The milestone is gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• For patients where recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit is a primary concern, Dr. Sajan focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• Dr. Sajan provides dedicated support for patients going through a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food, always aiming for positive outcomes like their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• If a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Sajan develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Sajan will personalize this recommendation based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Sajan's specific advice is crucial for optimal oral health.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sajan and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken for a complete assessment. Following the examination, Dr. Sajan will explain their findings, recommend any necessary treatments, and answer any questions you may have.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sajan is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. These include 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 possibly some cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to see a general dentist. You can contact the clinic directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sajan.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Sajan offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Sajan focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's essential to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation, and protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sajan will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
