At CENTRE DENTAIRE SHAGOURY, 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 Shagoury frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr Shagoury's professional help and expertise when dealing with their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.

The treatment philosophy centers on enabling finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, so that daily routines and pleasures like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care become straightforward again.

Dr Shagoury expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• A key objective when treating needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain at Dr Shagoury's welcoming dental clinic is achieving successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance plan regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE SHAGOURY.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Shagoury 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. General Dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE SHAGOURY directly to arrange their visit with Dr Shagoury.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Shagoury will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Shagoury's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Shagoury at CENTRE DENTAIRE SHAGOURY?

At your initial appointment, Dr Shagoury and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE SHAGOURY will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr Shagoury will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity 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. 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 Shagoury 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).
