At Valley Family Dentistry, 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. Toor frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Toor develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• When feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort, Dr. Toor and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Understanding the frustration their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession can cause, Dr. Toor tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, allowing for renewed participation in activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Patients experiencing simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Toor's practice, a key objective is a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Toor 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Toor also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Toor will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's essential to follow Dr. Toor's specific recommendations.

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 by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may also be available for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance plan before starting treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Toor for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Valley Family Dentistry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Toor at Valley Family Dentistry?

At your first appointment, Dr. Toor and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health history. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Toor will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity 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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Toor will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
