At Dr. Rajinder Singh Hundal'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. Hundal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own is a common journey for patients under Dr. Hundal's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients at Dr. Hundal's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Patients experiencing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Hundal's practice, a key objective is experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Hundal about a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is to attain their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.

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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hundal and the team at the clinic will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Hundal will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Hundal will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Hundal's specific recommendations.

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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) 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 by MSP. Most 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 groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

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. Hundal.

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 during the procedure 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. Hundal 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).
