At Dr. Navdeep Singh Johal's practice, 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. Johal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Johal expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, means they can happily and comfortably get back to singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Dr. Johal's comprehensive care for a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems is meticulously designed to result in their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day without dental worries.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Johal about needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain is to attain their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• If their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort has unfortunately put their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Johal works closely with patients towards attaining their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Johal, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

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

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 carefully review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, and annual maximums) before commencing treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Johal will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health 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 risk of cavities), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Johal's specific recommendations.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Johal and the team will focus on understanding 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. Johal will then explain their findings and any recommended treatments. This is also an excellent time to ask questions.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Johal will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
