However, Dr. Motisariya will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Motisariya 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 for a complete assessment. Dr. Motisariya will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Motisariya will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

In Alberta, the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) typically does not cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospital settings might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you may qualify for before treatment.
