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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through 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 to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Soltanian and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Soltanian will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Soltanian will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing gum disease or at high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Soltanian's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is not needed to see a general dentist for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly.

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

Dr. Soltanian determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
