• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Benaïm to see patients who were troubled by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth successfully achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• Managing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Benaïm 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 playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Benaïm with concerns about a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, making a positive and lasting return to speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Overcoming or effectively managing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent is a common journey for patients under Dr Benaïm's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort become straightforward again.

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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 DR PATRICK CANONNE.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Benaïm 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on 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 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 Benaïm 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Benaïm for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE DR PATRICK CANONNE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Benaïm will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits). It is essential to follow Dr Benaïm's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Benaïm at CENTRE DENTAIRE DR PATRICK CANONNE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Benaïm and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Benaïm will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
