At Dr. Sepehr Rahmany'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. Rahmany frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Rahmany with concerns about an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, making a positive and lasting return to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort not just possible, but highly feasible.
• When a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance, Dr. Rahmany and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is a common journey for patients under Dr. Rahmany's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity at Dr. Rahmany's welcoming dental clinic is achieving clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine dental care provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental procedures performed in a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Patients should check their eligibility for any public coverage and review their private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Rahmany will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, 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), while others may have longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Rahmany's specific recommendations.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, such as Dr. Rahmany, is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and confirms the appropriateness of the visit. If Dr. Rahmany determines that you need specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Always check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rahmany provides primary dental care for all ages. This includes preventative services (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and sometimes cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Rahmany for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can typically book an appointment directly with the clinic.

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

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening), and X-rays (if needed). Dr. Rahmany will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan (if necessary). A professional cleaning is often performed during this visit or scheduled for a follow-up.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays, which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Rahmany determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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.
