At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILLE SOURIRES COTEAU DU LAC-LES COTEAUX, 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 Yakan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, Dr Yakan's approach is focused on delivering their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children with a healthier smile.
• Understanding the frustration a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation can cause, Dr Yakan tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, allowing for renewed participation in activities like playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• When a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Yakan helps patients strive for a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This makes participating in activities such as no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care a pleasant and possible experience again.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Yakan to see patients who were troubled by a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems successfully achieve achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Yakan at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILLE SOURIRES COTEAU DU LAC-LES COTEAUX?

At your initial appointment, Dr Yakan and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILLE SOURIRES COTEAU DU LAC-LES COTEAUX 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 Yakan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILLE SOURIRES COTEAU DU LAC-LES COTEAUX directly to arrange their visit with Dr Yakan.

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 Yakan 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).

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

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

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

In Quebec, 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 (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILLE SOURIRES COTEAU DU LAC-LES COTEAUX.
