At Centre Dentaire Westminster, 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 Sabbah frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- The journey from a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite to wellness often involves Dr Sabbah's dedicated care. The milestone is achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, which opens the door back to activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
- Dr Sabbah provides dedicated support for patients going through their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli, always aiming for positive outcomes like their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
- Dr Sabbah's comprehensive care for wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent is meticulously designed to result in their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain without dental worries.
- A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Sabbah about a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is to attain their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Sabbah, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Sabbah is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Sabbah for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sabbah will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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. It is important to follow Dr Sabbah's specific recommendations.
- 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. 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 strongly recommended to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Centre Dentaire Westminster.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Sabbah typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Sabbah 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 like whitening or bonding. General Dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when necessary for more complex needs.
- I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Sabbah offer any sedation options?
- Dr Sabbah and our team at Centre Dentaire Westminster are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. Please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Sabbah. They can explore various comfort measures and relaxation techniques to help you feel more at ease. If necessary, Dr Sabbah can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides sedation services.
- 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. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Sabbah 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).
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Sabbah?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Sabbah for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Westminster.
