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 <b>not</b> 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 paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors receiving specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to thoroughly review your private dental insurance policy details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before commencing treatment.

What payment options are available at the clinic for dental services?

For your convenience, our clinic accepts various payment methods, including cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. We also work with many private dental insurance plans. Please discuss specific payment arrangements and insurance details with our administrative team prior to your treatment. Payment for services is generally expected at the time treatment is rendered.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Khakbaz will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities), while others with excellent oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Khakbaz's specific recommendations.

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

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

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

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Khakbaz will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be part of this initial visit or scheduled soon after.

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

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

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that 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. Khakbaz will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
