At Tyler Artz Dental, 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. Singh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr. Singh's clinic, addressing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long means focusing on patient goals. Achieving receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Singh with concerns about experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), making a positive and lasting return to feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming with Dr. Singh's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

The clear goal of care is to achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Singh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Tyler Artz Dental.

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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do not cover most 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 by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Tyler Artz Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Singh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr. Singh's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Singh at Tyler Artz Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Singh 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. Singh will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Singh 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).
