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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Gorobtsova and the team at the clinic 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. Gorobtsova 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 Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Gorobtsova will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Gorobtsova provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists when needed.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Gorobtsova will personalize this schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Gorobtsova's specific recommendations.
