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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hussein 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). Dr. Hussein also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In AB, 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. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Hussein will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with the clinic.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Hussein offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Hussein understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, the clinic may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation (depending on specific qualifications). Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Hussein during your consultation to determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach.

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

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

Does our clinic offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage.

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 diagnostically necessary.
