At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ZEINA ABOU-KHALIL, 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 Hennous frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Hennous develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• Effectively addressing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially with Dr Hennous'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 ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection and social interactions.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed, involves working systematically towards their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. Dr Hennous expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Through Dr Hennous's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain often find they can readily achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Hennous 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding, if offered). Dr Hennous also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients 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 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, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ZEINA ABOU-KHALIL.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr Hennous is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Hennous identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if unsure.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ZEINA ABOU-KHALIL's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain), call the main office number at (514) 608-7555. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service in Montréal.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Hennous will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Hennous's specific recommendations.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, or planning complex treatments). Dr Hennous determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Hennous. Patients can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ZEINA ABOU-KHALIL directly.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hennous at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR ZEINA ABOU-KHALIL?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 Hennous will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
