• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Al-Haddad to see patients who were troubled by an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention successfully achieve gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• With Dr Al-Haddad's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is focused on achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without dental concerns.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Al-Haddad 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 cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Al-Haddad offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Al-Haddad focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Al-Haddad typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Al-Haddad 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, visits every 6 months for preventative care are generally recommended. However, Dr Al-Haddad 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Following Dr Al-Haddad's specific recommendation is essential.

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Al-Haddad at Clinique dentaire?

At your initial appointment, Dr Al-Haddad and the team at Clinique dentaire 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 Al-Haddad 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 Al-Haddad?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire directly to arrange their visit with Dr Al-Haddad.
