At CLINIQUE DE CHIRURGIE BUCCALE ET MAXILLOFACIALE SALEH, ROBIN, DAO ET ASSOCIÉS S.E.N.C.R.L, 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 Saleh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Saleh understands that dealing with an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, helping patients comfortably get back to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them and feeling their best.
• A key objective when treating a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation at Dr Saleh's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Through Dr Saleh's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age often find they can readily achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Saleh when they first notice a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Saleh, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Saleh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DE CHIRURGIE BUCCALE ET MAXILLOFACIALE SALEH, ROBIN, DAO ET ASSOCIÉS S.E.N.C.R.L.

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

For most adults, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Saleh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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. Following Dr Saleh's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 under RAMQ. 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 may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DE CHIRURGIE BUCCALE ET MAXILLOFACIALE SALEH, ROBIN, DAO ET ASSOCIÉS S.E.N.C.R.L.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Saleh at CLINIQUE DE CHIRURGIE BUCCALE ET MAXILLOFACIALE SALEH, ROBIN, DAO ET ASSOCIÉS S.E.N.C.R.L?

At your initial appointment, Dr Saleh and the team at CLINIQUE DE CHIRURGIE BUCCALE ET MAXILLOFACIALE SALEH, ROBIN, DAO ET ASSOCIÉS S.E.N.C.R.L 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 Saleh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Saleh 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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 Saleh 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).
