At Amazing Smile Dental, 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. Dhami frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite at Dr. Dhami's practice is consistently achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• With Dr. Dhami's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is focused on achieving feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without dental concerns.
• If experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is preventing you from fully enjoying their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr. Dhami offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Dhami often consults with patients whose a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture significantly limits their enjoyment of playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dhami will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need visits every 3-4 months, while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Dhami's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Dhami at Amazing Smile Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dhami and the team at Amazing Smile Dental 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. Dhami will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Dhami for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Amazing Smile Dental.

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. 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. Dhami 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 Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In BC, 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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
