At Dr. Saher A. Mohamed'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. Mohamed frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure? Dr. Mohamed partners with patients to target their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions a much more achievable reality.
• Dr. Mohamed often consults with patients whose a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment significantly limits their enjoyment of maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• For those affected by one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, Dr. Mohamed provides solutions that lead to their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) with Dr. Mohamed's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions once more.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Mohamed will personalize this recommendation based on your individual needs, such as risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing oral health conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Mohamed's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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

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

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Mohamed 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), meaning the radiation dose is kept 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. 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might 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.

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

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. Mohamed.
