The clear aim is always their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
- For patients where a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is a primary concern, Dr. Renoir focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

- 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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Renoir 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. Renoir?
- 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. Renoir.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Renoir at the clinic?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Renoir and the team at the clinic 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. Renoir will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- 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 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.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Renoir for a check-up and cleaning?
- Generally, we recommend check-ups and cleanings every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr. Renoir will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Renoir's specific recommendation.
