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

A General Dentist like Dr. Condor 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Condor at Dr. Kelly Davidoff Family Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Condor and the team at Dr. Kelly Davidoff Family Dentistry 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. Condor will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr. Condor offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr. Condor focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

In BC, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) 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 your potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dr. Kelly Davidoff Family Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Condor.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Condor will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need more frequent visits, while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Condor's specific recommendation is essential.

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. Condor will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
