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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Duprat will create a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Duprat's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Duprat is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide array of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. General Dentists also provide education on oral hygiene and make referrals to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, utilizing minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Duprat will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, a referral is generally not required to see a general dentist like Dr. Duprat for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can typically schedule an appointment directly with the clinic.

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

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form and discussing any dental concerns or goals. Dr. Duprat will then perform a thorough oral examination, and digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this assessment, Dr. Duprat will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is also an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

Does our clinic offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.
