At Silver Valet Dental Care, 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. Rabari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits under Dr. Rabari's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr. Rabari often consults with patients whose a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection at Dr. Rabari's practice is consistently achieving a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Rabari to see patients who were troubled by their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort successfully achieve a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.

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

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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before commencing treatment at Silver Valet Dental Care.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rabari at Silver Valet Dental Care?

Your first visit with Dr. Rabari 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. Rabari 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Silver Valet Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rabari.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rabari will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others may have longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Rabari's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Rabari is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (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 potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when necessary for more complex needs.

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 only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Rabari will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Rabari promptly.
