At WEST ISLAND FAMILY DENTAL CENTRE, 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 Nejad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Nejad to see patients who were troubled by their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care successfully achieve their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• When their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Nejad helps patients strive for their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This makes participating in activities such as biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr Nejad often consults with patients whose persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• If waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Nejad develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.

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

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Nejad 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).

What is WEST ISLAND FAMILY DENTAL CENTRE's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Nejad. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nejad at WEST ISLAND FAMILY DENTAL CENTRE?

Your first visit with Dr Nejad 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 Nejad 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact WEST ISLAND FAMILY DENTAL CENTRE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Nejad.

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

For most patients, we generally recommend check-ups and cleanings every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Nejad will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's important to follow Dr Nejad's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nejad 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.

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
