At CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE VALÉRIE KHALIL, 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 Roussel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem, Dr Roussel's approach is focused on delivering their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends with a healthier smile.
• When patients discuss a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, Dr Roussel outlines a path to their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• The journey from needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth to wellness often involves Dr Roussel's dedicated care. The milestone is their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• Dr Roussel's comprehensive care for needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect is meticulously designed to result in their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums without dental worries.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Roussel. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Roussel identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Roussel at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE VALÉRIE KHALIL?

Your first visit with Dr Roussel will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Roussel will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE VALÉRIE KHALIL.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Roussel 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 Roussel's specific recommendation.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Roussel 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 Roussel typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Roussel 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.
