Why can’t my dentist just diagnose my sleep apnea?
While dentists are often the first to spot the physical signs of sleep apnea, it is a medical respiratory disorder. In Alberta, professional standards require a physician to provide the official diagnosis to ensure other medical conditions aren’t being overlooked.
Is Botox for neck pain the same as for wrinkles?
The medication is the same, but the technique is very different. For neck and shoulder pain, our physician targets deeper muscle layers to provide functional relief and reduce spasms, rather than just smoothing the skin.
How long do the Botox results last for sweating?
Botox for hyperhidrosis is remarkably long-lasting. Most patients enjoy 6 to 9 months of dryness before a touch-up is needed.
Do I need a referral to see the dentist?
Do I need a referral for a sleep study?
No referral is required. You can call us directly to schedule your consultation and sleep exam.
Do I need a referral to see the in-house sleep physician?
No. Following your initial consultation, you will be provided with a Level 3 home sleep test. Once completed, you will meet with our sleep physician to discuss your diagnosis and explore treatment options.
Do I need a referral to see the Myofunctional Therapist?
No referral is necessary. Our therapist works directly under the supervision of the principal dentist. Following your initial examination and diagnosis with the dentist, we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan. If myofunctional therapy is recommended, you will begin your sessions directly with our therapist as part of that plan.
Do I need a referral to see the Medical Aesthetician?
No referral is necessary. Call us today to book a free consultation with our experienced Medical Aesthetician. Our aesthetic team works under the direct supervision of both our principal dentist and family physician, ensuring you receive professional medical recommendations and a personalized treatment plan.
Do you follow the Alberta Fee Guide for dental services?
Yes, we strictly adhere to the
2026 Alberta Dental Fee Guide to ensure transparent and fair pricing for our patients. You can view the current guide on the
Alberta Dental Association website.
How are visits with the family physician billed?
All visits for services provided by our family physician are billed directly to Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). Please ensure you bring your valid provincial health card to every appointment.
Is Sleep Apnea diagnosis covered by Alberta Health Care?
Physician consultations and diagnostic sleep tests are typically covered by Alberta Health Care. The oral appliance itself is usually covered through your private extended health benefits. Our team works to ensure all medical documentation is prepared correctly for your claims.
