At Dr. Jordan Cole Ozcan'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. Ozcan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Ozcan helps patients strive for their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This makes participating in activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr. Ozcan's comprehensive care for concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches is meticulously designed to result in their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem without dental worries.
• Through Dr. Ozcan's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems often find they can readily achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• For individuals troubled by experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, Dr. Ozcan's approach is focused on delivering their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness with a healthier smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Ozcan, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Ozcan is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Ozcan 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 Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In BC, provincial health plans (like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC) 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, every 6 months is generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Ozcan will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Ozcan's specific recommendation.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Ozcan are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Ozcan may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Ozcan offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Ozcan focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Ozcan 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. Ozcan 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. Ozcan typically provide?
