At ORTHODONTIE FACE & PROFIL, 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 Jamal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Jamal develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Dr Jamal expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, means they can happily and comfortably get back to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• At Dr Jamal's clinic, addressing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist) helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• Patients presenting with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots under Dr Jamal's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jamal at ORTHODONTIE FACE & PROFIL?

Your first visit with Dr Jamal 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 Jamal 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.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Jamal can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Jamal can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

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

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

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

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 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at ORTHODONTIE FACE & PROFIL.

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 Jamal 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 Jamal for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Jamal will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Jamal's specific recommendation.
