At Aarm on Main, 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. Alzamani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence at Dr. Alzamani's practice is consistently achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• If their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Alzamani develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Alzamani to see patients who were troubled by a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered successfully achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• Dr. Alzamani often consults with patients whose a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation significantly limits their enjoyment of passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Alzamani at Aarm on Main?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Alzamani and the team at Aarm on Main 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. Alzamani will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Aarm on Main directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Alzamani.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Alzamani will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or are at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Alzamani's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr. Alzamani 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).

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

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (MSP) typically does 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 by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may also provide coverage for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Aarm on Main.
