At Atlantis Dental Roundhouse, 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. Habibian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Habibian's comprehensive care for their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation is meticulously designed to result in feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection without dental worries.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed is a common journey for patients under Dr. Habibian's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism become straightforward again.
• If an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options has unfortunately put showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Habibian works closely with patients towards attaining an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care, involves working systematically towards their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. Dr. Habibian expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Habibian for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Atlantis Dental Roundhouse.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Habibian at Atlantis Dental Roundhouse?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Habibian and the team at Atlantis Dental Roundhouse 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. Habibian will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Habibian is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Habibian will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Habibian's specific recommendation.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Habibian will determine the frequency, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
