At Dr. Brayden G. Adair'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. Adair frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment under Dr. Adair's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Adair with concerns about feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, making a positive and lasting return to speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Managing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Adair and the dental team. The clear aim is always 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), which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• A key objective when treating their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care at Dr. Adair's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Adair, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Dr. Adair also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Adair and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Adair will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

What is our clinic's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Adair. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of our clinic's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess, broken tooth), call our main office number at (587) 318-0318.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Adair for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with the clinic.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Adair will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Adair will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

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 in private clinics. Some limited hospital-based dental surgeries might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Check your insurance coverage and eligibility for any government programs.
