At CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY, 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 Haddad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is preventing you from fully enjoying showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments or causing discomfort, Dr Haddad offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Patients experiencing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Haddad's practice, a key objective is their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• Dr Haddad often consults with patients whose having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Haddad when they first notice their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Haddad, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Haddad is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Haddad at CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY?

Your first visit with Dr Haddad 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 Haddad 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 used to 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 Haddad 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).

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Haddad will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Haddad's specific recommendation is essential.
