At Centre Dentaire Apex, 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 Saado frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile or causing discomfort, Dr Saado offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

• Dr Saado often consults with patients whose needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• A key objective when treating a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite at Dr Saado's welcoming dental clinic is achieving feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Saado is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, and bridges. Dr Saado also performs basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and provides initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Furthermore, Dr Saado educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Saado for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Apex.

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 Saado 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).

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 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Centre Dentaire Apex.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Saado 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Saado's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Saado at Centre Dentaire Apex?

Your first visit with Dr Saado 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 Saado will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.
