At Dr. Stacey Kreuz'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. Kreuz frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort, Dr. Kreuz provides solutions that lead to having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, Dr. Kreuz offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• When a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Kreuz helps patients strive for their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This makes participating in activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a pleasant and possible experience again.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Kreuz about experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is to attain their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Kreuz, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Kreuz is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kreuz is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). Dr. Kreuz also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Kreuz may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with a Focus on TMJ, Bruxism & Orofacial Pain Management based on additional training.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kreuz 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. It is crucial to follow Dr. Kreuz's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kreuz 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. Kreuz 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 used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kreuz 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).

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact the clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kreuz.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like 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, social assistance recipients). It's important 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.
