At CENTRE DENTAIRE JULIE PORLIER, 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 Moghrabi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear to wellness often involves Dr Moghrabi's dedicated care. The milestone is a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• When a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Moghrabi helps patients strive for their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This makes participating in activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought a pleasant and possible experience again.
• If wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is preventing you from fully enjoying their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post or causing discomfort, Dr Moghrabi offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Moghrabi when they first notice an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, enabling them to once again enjoy their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life without hesitation.

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

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

However, Dr Moghrabi 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Moghrabi 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 also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Moghrabi at CENTRE DENTAIRE JULIE PORLIER?

Your first visit with Dr Moghrabi 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 Moghrabi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 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's essential 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 JULIE PORLIER.

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

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

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Moghrabi 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).
