At Centre dentaire Milan Brossard, 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 Gaied frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Gaied provides dedicated support for patients going through an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, always aiming for positive outcomes like feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Patients experiencing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Gaied's practice, a key objective is feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, involves working systematically towards a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. Dr Gaied expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth at Dr Gaied's practice is consistently achieving their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Gaied, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Gaied 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 Gaied at Centre dentaire Milan Brossard?

At your initial appointment, Dr Gaied and the team at Centre dentaire Milan Brossard 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 Gaied will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Gaied help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Gaied can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Gaied promptly.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Gaied is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, 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). They also educate 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 Gaied 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 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. Check your coverage before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Gaied will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs and risk factors.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Contact Centre dentaire Milan Brossard directly.
