At Meadow Ridge Dental Centre, 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. Noh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Noh's practice, a key objective is a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Patients presenting with a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause under Dr. Noh's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums without the former limitations or discomfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Noh to see patients who were troubled by a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces successfully achieve their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• With Dr. Noh's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile is focused on achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort without dental concerns.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Meadow Ridge Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Noh.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Noh at Meadow Ridge Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Noh 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. Noh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Noh 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 crucial to follow Dr. Noh's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Noh 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).

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 by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is recommended to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Meadow Ridge Dental Centre.
