At CENTRE DENTAIRE BEACONSFIELD, 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 Korman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth is a primary concern, Dr Korman focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• If a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own has unfortunately put their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Korman works closely with patients towards attaining having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• With Dr Korman's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is focused on achieving the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily without dental concerns.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Korman about their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is to attain achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Korman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Korman is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Korman 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).

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

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Korman at CENTRE DENTAIRE BEACONSFIELD?

Your first visit with Dr Korman 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 Korman 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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential 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 BEACONSFIELD.
