• Overcoming or effectively managing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional is a common journey for patients under Dr. Deljoui's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos become straightforward again.
• Dr. Deljoui often consults with patients whose a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming significantly limits their enjoyment of easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums or impacts their self-confidence.

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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. The majority of dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors receiving specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to confirm any potential public coverage you may qualify for and to thoroughly review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, and annual maximums) <strong>before</strong> commencing treatment.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Deljoui will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Deljoui will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most individuals, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Deljoui will personalize your schedule based on your specific oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any pre-existing conditions. Some patients might require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Deljoui's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Deljoui. You can contact the clinic directly to arrange your visit.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that utilize minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Deljoui will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to principles like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
