- 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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Loewen typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Loewen 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Loewen?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Loewen 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. Loewen for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Loewen 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. Follow Dr. Loewen's specific recommendations.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Loewen at the clinic?
- At your first appointment, expect to complete a medical history form and discuss any dental issues or goals. Dr. Loewen will then perform a detailed examination of your mouth, and digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr. Loewen will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time 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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Loewen will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and adheres to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
