At sunstone dental clinic, 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. Trung frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Trung helps patients strive for their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This makes participating in activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For patients where a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is a primary concern, Dr. Trung focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• At Dr. Trung's clinic, addressing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• The journey from an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching to wellness often involves Dr. Trung's dedicated care. The milestone is their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.

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

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 performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before beginning treatment at sunstone dental clinic.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact sunstone dental clinic directly to arrange a visit with Dr. Trung.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Trung at sunstone dental clinic?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of medical and dental history, thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr. Trung will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this or a following visit.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr. Trung determines frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Trung will personalize the schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Trung's specific recommendations.
