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 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 by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Cable and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Cable will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral isn't typically needed to see a general dentist. You can contact the clinic directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cable.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Cable will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Cable's specific recommendations.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Cable is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has necessary background information. If Dr. Cable identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Cable will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
