At Dr. Daniel Chi-Sing Tsang'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. Tsang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns at Dr. Tsang's welcoming dental clinic is achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Through Dr. Tsang's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning often find they can readily achieve the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• With Dr. Tsang's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is focused on achieving successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day without dental concerns.
• Dr. Tsang understands that dealing with wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, helping patients comfortably get back to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and feeling their best.

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Tsang 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).

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Tsang and the team at the clinic will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Tsang will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

In BC, provincial health plans (like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC) 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Tsang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Tsang's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact the clinic directly.

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