At Dr. Manisha Chauhan'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. Chauhan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach, Dr. Chauhan offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• A key objective when treating their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to at Dr. Chauhan's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• The journey from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) to wellness often involves Dr. Chauhan's dedicated care. The milestone is their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress, which opens the door back to activities such as replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• For those affected by a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable, Dr. Chauhan 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 actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Chauhan, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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. Chauhan 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).

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

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. Chauhan.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Chauhan and the team at the clinic will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Chauhan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Chauhan 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Following Dr. Chauhan's specific recommendation is key.

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

In Alberta, provincial health plans like 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
