At Dr. Loveleen Kaur'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. Kaur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Kaur's comprehensive care for a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially is meticulously designed to result in achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits without dental worries.
• When their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Kaur helps patients strive for their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This makes participating in activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Are you struggling with wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age? Dr. Kaur partners with patients to target finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day a much more achievable reality.
• For those affected by a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces, Dr. Kaur provides solutions that lead to having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Kaur. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Kaur identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

In AB, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kaur is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Kaur may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with a Focus on TMJ, Bruxism & Orofacial Pain Management based on additional training.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Kaur 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. Kaur 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 is our clinic's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Kaur. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50-$100. Specific fee information is available from the clinic. We appreciate your cooperation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kaur.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kaur 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendation.
