At Dr. Jarred D. Soon'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. Soon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Soon's comprehensive care for a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture is meticulously designed to result in their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort without dental worries.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Soon to see patients who were troubled by their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling successfully achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr. Soon understands that dealing with their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues and feeling their best.
• If their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed has unfortunately put attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Soon works closely with patients towards attaining their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Soon and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Soon will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

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

In Alberta, provincial health plans like AHCIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Always verify your coverage and check your private dental 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 which use 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). Dr. Soon will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What is our clinic's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We request at least 24 business hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments cancelled with less notice or missed may be subject to a cancellation fee (details available from the clinic). We appreciate your cooperation.
