At Dr. Quinn X. Pham's practice, 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. Pham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite, involves working systematically towards their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. Dr. Pham expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty or causing discomfort, Dr. Pham offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Understanding the frustration a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal can cause, Dr. Pham tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, allowing for renewed participation in activities like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Pham to see patients who were troubled by their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth successfully achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Pham, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Pham is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Pham.

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 for the general population. Some specific, 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, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Pham 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. Pham 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. Pham for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Pham will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 between appointments. It's essential to follow Dr. Pham's specific recommendations.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Pham 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).
