At Redwoods dental, 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. Barbarawi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Numerous patients have successfully addressed an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear with Dr. Barbarawi's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet once more.
• If an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions or causing discomfort, Dr. Barbarawi offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Through Dr. Barbarawi's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from 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) often find they can readily achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• For patients where 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 a primary concern, Dr. Barbarawi focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Barbarawi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Barbarawi 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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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. Barbarawi 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. Barbarawi for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Barbarawi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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). It's important to follow Dr. Barbarawi's specific recommendation.

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

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