At Dr. Jaspreet Singh Sidhu'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. Sidhu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort, Dr. Sidhu's approach is focused on delivering having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues with a healthier smile.
• Through Dr. Sidhu's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit often find they can readily achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Patients experiencing a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Sidhu's practice, a key objective is a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• For those affected by a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr. Sidhu provides solutions that lead to the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Sidhu, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

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

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Sidhu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Sidhu'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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Sidhu will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Sidhu 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. Sidhu 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, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
