At Dr. Rajeev Arora'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. Arora frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, Dr. Arora's approach is focused on delivering their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun with a healthier smile.
• At Dr. Arora's clinic, addressing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr. Arora's practice is consistently achieving their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• The journey from their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure to wellness often involves Dr. Arora's dedicated care. The milestone is their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, which opens the door back to activities such as laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Arora, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Arora 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).

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). 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 before starting treatment.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Arora will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Arora's specific recommendation is crucial.

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