At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ABOUD KANO, 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 Kano frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Kano provides dedicated support for patients going through needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional, always aiming for positive outcomes like achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Understanding the frustration a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider can cause, Dr Kano tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, allowing for renewed participation in activities like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• If waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding has unfortunately put easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Kano works closely with patients towards attaining experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces, involves working systematically towards transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. Dr Kano expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ABOUD KANO directly to arrange their visit with Dr Kano.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kano at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ABOUD KANO?

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

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Kano 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).

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ABOUD KANO.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Kano. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Kano identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Kano 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.

Follow Dr Kano's specific recommendation.
