As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Cadili is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Dr. Fahad Cadili's practice, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure to wellness often involves Dr. Cadili's dedicated care. The milestone is their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, which opens the door back to activities such as their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession at Dr. Cadili's practice is consistently achieving a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
• Dr. Cadili's comprehensive care for a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is meticulously designed to result in having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without dental worries.
• With Dr. Cadili's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems is focused on achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort without dental concerns.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Cadili, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise. Dr. Cadili is committed to providing the highest standard of specialized care, tailored to your individual needs.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Cadili 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. Cadili 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 British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are the responsibility of the patient, paid either directly or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance plan's details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) <em>before</em> beginning treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Cadili will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing dental conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Cadili's specific recommendations.

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

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. Cadili.

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 clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Cadili will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Cadili offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Cadili focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from your general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant information about your dental history and that the consultation is appropriate. If Dr. Cadili identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide you with a referral to ensure coordinated care. Always check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

What is the typical recovery like after wisdom tooth removal or other oral surgery by Dr. Cadili?

Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Cadili will provide detailed post-operative instructions regarding pain management, swelling control, diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions. Some initial discomfort and swelling are common for a few days to a week, but most patients resume normal activities relatively quickly. It is essential to follow all post-operative advice carefully.
