At Dr. Davin E. Wilcox'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. Wilcox frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Dr. Wilcox's comprehensive care for a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is meticulously designed to result in having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath without dental worries.
- Through Dr. Wilcox's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces often find they can readily achieve their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
- Dr. Wilcox understands that dealing with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, helping patients comfortably get back to their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness and feeling their best.
- Effectively addressing their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure with Dr. Wilcox's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation and social interactions.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Wilcox, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Wilcox for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Wilcox will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Wilcox'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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Wilcox 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Wilcox typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Wilcox is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Wilcox may offer specialized services in areas like Comprehensive General Dentistry based on additional training.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Wilcox?
- No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Wilcox for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
- 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 dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often through employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wilcox at the clinic?
- Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals, and a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Wilcox will explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
- I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Wilcox help with TMJ/TMD issues?
- Dr. Wilcox can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.
