At Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe, 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 Nourmoussavi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Nourmoussavi's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer is focused on achieving gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day without dental concerns.
• The journey from experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth to wellness often involves Dr Nourmoussavi's dedicated care. The milestone is their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Patients presenting with a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation under Dr Nourmoussavi's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem, Dr Nourmoussavi and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Nourmoussavi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Nourmoussavi 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 Nourmoussavi at Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nourmoussavi and the team at Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe 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 Nourmoussavi 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 Nourmoussavi 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 Nourmoussavi?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Nourmoussavi for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe.

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 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 strongly recommended 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.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Nourmoussavi offer any sedation options?

Dr Nourmoussavi and our team at Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Nourmoussavi. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nourmoussavi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Following Dr Nourmoussavi's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nourmoussavi 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.

Does Clinique dentaire Dre Chantal Lamothe 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.
