At Dr. Emily Jeong'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. Jeong frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Jeong to see patients who were troubled by a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection successfully achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
- Patients frequently come to Dr. Jeong with concerns about needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, making a positive and lasting return to feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem not just possible, but highly feasible.
- At Dr. Jeong's clinic, addressing their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention means focusing on patient goals. Achieving a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
- A key objective when treating a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr. Jeong's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Jeong, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Jeong 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 used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Jeong 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).
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jeong?
- 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. Jeong.
- 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 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, social assistance recipients). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at the clinic.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Jeong for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jeong will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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. Jeong's specific recommendation.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jeong at the clinic?
- Your first visit with Dr. Jeong will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Jeong will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
