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

A General Dentist like Dr. Panag 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), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Panag also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Panag will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Panag will personalize your schedule based on 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 for active gum disease), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Panag's specific recommendations.

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

Dr. Panag and our team at Delta rise Dental are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Panag. They can explore various comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Panag at Delta rise Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Panag and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Panag will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact Delta rise Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Panag.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries done in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors). Always check your insurance coverage and eligibility for any public programs before treatment.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots, supporting replacement teeth. Good candidates have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr. Panag can perform a comprehensive assessment (including X-rays) to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Panag can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
