- Dr. Jivani often consults with patients whose a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems significantly limits their enjoyment of confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
- Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is a common journey for patients under Dr. Jivani's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine become straightforward again.
- Dr. Jivani provides dedicated support for patients going through feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, always aiming for positive outcomes like feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.

- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jivani?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Jivani for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Jivani for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Jivani 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, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Jivani's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.
- 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 also 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. Jivani 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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jivani at the clinic?
- Your first visit with Dr. Jivani 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. Jivani will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
