At North Peace Dental, 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. Wang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about at Dr. Wang's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• Dr. Wang often consults with patients whose their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• For those affected by experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, Dr. Wang provides solutions that lead to their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• For patients where needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury is a primary concern, Dr. Wang focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.

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

What payment options are available at North Peace Dental for dental services?

For your convenience, North Peace Dental accepts various payment methods, including cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. We also work with many private dental insurance plans. Please discuss specific payment arrangements and insurance details with our administrative team prior to your treatment. Payment for services is generally expected at the time treatment is rendered.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr. Wang. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at North Peace Dental. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr. Wang might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <b>not</b> cover routine or major dental procedures in private dental clinics for the general public. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at North Peace Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Wang will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Wang's specific recommendations.

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 check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Wang determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wang at North Peace Dental?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: 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 needed X-rays. Dr. Wang will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wang 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 possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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