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

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

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

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. Dhesi.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dhesi and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Dhesi will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Dhesi will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Dhesi's specific recommendations.

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

In BC, the provincial health plan (MSP) typically does NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private insurance details before treatment.

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 detect decay, assess bone health). Dr. Dhesi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
