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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Nyachhyon and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Nyachhyon will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) 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 by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Nyachhyon will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact the clinic directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nyachhyon.

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

However, Dr. Nyachhyon will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr. Nyachhyon's specific recommendations.
