What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Bagri typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Bagri is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Bagri also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Bagri for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Bagri will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Bagri's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Bagri and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health history. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Bagri will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

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's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bagri will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
