At Centre de santé dentaire Sourires Exquis, 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 Hindié frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Hindié understands that dealing with a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily and feeling their best.
• Managing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Hindié and the dental team. The clear aim is always understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Effectively addressing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal with Dr Hindié's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence and social interactions.
• Patients experiencing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Hindié's practice, a key objective is their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Hindié, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr Hindié 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 used to further minimize any potential 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 Hindié 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 Hindié for a check-up and cleaning?

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hindié at Centre de santé dentaire Sourires Exquis?

At your initial appointment, Dr Hindié and the team at Centre de santé dentaire Sourires Exquis will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Hindié will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 important 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 de santé dentaire Sourires Exquis.
