At ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY/ MCGILL UNIVERSITY, 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 Alali frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly, Dr Alali and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Effectively addressing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider with Dr Alali's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child participating happily in school photos and social activities and social interactions.
• For individuals troubled by feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals, Dr Alali's approach is focused on delivering finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern with a healthier smile.
• Dr Alali's comprehensive care for one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is meticulously designed to result in their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage without dental worries.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Alali 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). Dr Alali also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Alali at ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY/ MCGILL UNIVERSITY?

At your initial appointment, Dr Alali and the team at ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY/ MCGILL UNIVERSITY 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 Alali will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Alali 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). Follow Dr Alali's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Alali for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY/ MCGILL UNIVERSITY.
