About Dr. Garfield Kirchner Inc
Dental care is one of those services a town either has or sends its residents down the highway for. In Enderby, where the drive to Vernon or Salmon Arm is a real part of the calculation for anything the town does not offer, a dental practice within the community saves families a good deal of time. Dr. Garfield Kirchner Inc works in that setting, on the small town end of a profession that mostly operates in larger centres.
General dentistry covers examinations and cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, and the fitting of dentures or partials. What differs from one practice to another is the range of procedures kept in house rather than referred to a specialist, and that is a fair question to ask when you book. New patients are usually asked for a full set of records, so if you are transferring, request that your previous dentist forward radiographs and treatment history rather than starting from nothing. Bring your insurance details to the first visit, and ask whether the office bills your plan directly.
Emergencies are the other thing worth thinking about before they happen. A cracked tooth or an abscess on a weekend leaves you weighing a wait against a drive, so it is sensible to know in advance how urgent problems are handled and what number to call. Families with young children can ask how a first visit is structured, since the goal at that age is mostly to make the chair unremarkable. For anyone coming in from the farms of the Spallumcheen valley or from the Mabel Lake road, appointment times that account for the drive are worth requesting when you phone.
