• If concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly is preventing you from fully enjoying participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard or causing discomfort, Dr Rajab offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.

This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• For patients where a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is a primary concern, Dr Rajab focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rajab at Centre dentaire Serge Chaussé?

Your first visit with Dr Rajab 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 Rajab 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.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Rajab will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Rajab's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Rajab is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include some cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Rajab also provides education on proper oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Rajab will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, always adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) radiation exposure.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered under specific circumstances. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage and to check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment at Centre dentaire Serge Chaussé.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Rajab offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Rajab 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 is Centre dentaire Serge Chaussé's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?
