At Dr. Jenny N. Hui'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. Hui frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Dr. Hui provides dedicated support for patients going through a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
- Managing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Hui and the dental team. The clear aim is always their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
- For individuals troubled by a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr. Hui's approach is focused on delivering a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet with a healthier smile.
- Numerous patients have successfully addressed a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long with Dr. Hui's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues once more.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Hui, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hui at the clinic?
- Your first visit with Dr. Hui will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Hui will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Hui typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Hui 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. Hui also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Hui for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Hui will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Hui's specific recommendation.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Hui?
- 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. Hui.
- 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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Hui 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).
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In AB, provincial health plans like AHCIP 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, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment.
