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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at IMPrESS Perio Implant Center.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Noroozi will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Noroozi's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see Dr. Noroozi for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with IMPrESS Perio Implant Center.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Noroozi at IMPrESS Perio Implant Center?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr. Noroozi will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Noroozi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and adheres to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
