At Dr. Courtney R. Wong'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. Wong frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth with Dr. Wong's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage and social interactions.
• At Dr. Wong's clinic, addressing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching 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 resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• When experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Wong helps patients strive for their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This makes participating in activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care a pleasant and possible experience again.
• When a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth, Dr. Wong helps patients strive for their previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Wong is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Wong also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Wong 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. Wong will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Wong for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Wong offer any sedation options?

Dr. Wong and the team are committed to making your visit comfortable. While specific sedation options may vary, please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Wong during your consultation. They can explore comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, refer you to a specialist providing sedation services.

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 detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Wong determines the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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 is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible individuals. Check your insurance coverage and eligibility for any public programs before treatment.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Wong will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Wong's specific recommendations.
