At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLES TROTTIER, 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 Oueis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional is a common journey for patients under Dr Oueis's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, so that daily routines and pleasures like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding become straightforward again.
• Many people seek Dr Oueis's professional help and expertise when dealing with feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• When a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile, Dr Oueis and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Oueis develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Oueis 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 Oueis?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLES TROTTIER directly to arrange their visit with Dr Oueis.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Oueis at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLES TROTTIER?

At your initial appointment, Dr Oueis and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLES TROTTIER 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 Oueis will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Oueis will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Oueis's specific recommendation.

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLES TROTTIER offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Oueis typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Oueis is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like RAMQ) 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
