At Orthodontistes Saint-Laurent, 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 Nammour frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Nammour's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal is focused on achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle without dental concerns.
• Effectively addressing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation with Dr Nammour's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them and social interactions.
• Dr Nammour provides dedicated support for patients going through a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, always aiming for positive outcomes like their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Many people seek Dr Nammour's professional help and expertise when dealing with simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nammour 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 crucial to follow Dr Nammour's specific recommendation for optimal care.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nammour at Orthodontistes Saint-Laurent?

Your first visit with Dr Nammour 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 Nammour 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.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Nammour 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nammour 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, 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, if offered). Dr Nammour also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Orthodontistes Saint-Laurent.
