At Clinique Dentaire Galerie du Parc, 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 Ghadban frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Ghadban about a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is to attain their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• At Dr Ghadban's clinic, addressing noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer means focusing on patient goals. Achieving successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• The journey from an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching to wellness often involves Dr Ghadban's dedicated care. The milestone is experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• If their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Ghadban develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Ghadban, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Ghadban can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Ghadban can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Ghadban 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Ghadban will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Ghadban's specific recommendation.

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). Always verify your coverage and insurance details before treatment.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary. Dr Ghadban will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Galerie du Parc directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ghadban.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ghadban at Clinique Dentaire Galerie du Parc?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Ghadban will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
