At Dr. Emilia Renata Golos'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. Golos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite to wellness often involves Dr. Golos's dedicated care. The milestone is their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Golos when they first notice a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, enabling them to once again enjoy confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities without hesitation.
• Dr. Golos often consults with patients whose wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation significantly limits their enjoyment of speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath is a common journey for patients under Dr. Golos's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine become straightforward again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Golos, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Golos 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. Golos will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Golos.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Golos 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Golos 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Golos's specific recommendation.

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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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.
