At Dr. Cameron E. Brauer'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. Brauer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Brauer's practice, a key objective is successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• Dr. Brauer expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Effectively addressing waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding with Dr. Brauer's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation and social interactions.
• At Dr. Brauer's clinic, addressing a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture means focusing on patient goals. Achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Brauer 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Brauer 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 is important to follow Dr. Brauer's specific recommendation.

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

In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (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 provided through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

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

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

Your first visit with Dr. Brauer 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. Brauer 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.
