• Dr. Parajuli's comprehensive care for concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history is meticulously designed to result in having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits without dental worries.
• If a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle or causing discomfort, Dr. Parajuli offers expert dental solutions.

• The journey from a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment to wellness often involves Dr. Parajuli's dedicated care. The milestone is their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.

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 may 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Parajuli typically provide?

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

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 cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Parajuli 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).

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

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. Parajuli.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Parajuli 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. Parajuli will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Parajuli 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is essential to follow Dr. Parajuli's specific recommendations.
