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

A General Dentist like Dr. Lui 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Lui also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

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

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

In Alberta, 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 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting 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 to further minimize exposure. 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. Lui 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).

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

Yes, Dr. Lui understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, options such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be available. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Lui during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Generally, preventative check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr. Lui will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Lui's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Lui and the team 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. Based on this, Dr. Lui will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
