At CENTRE DENTAIRE VSL DR WISDOM, 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 Amrani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Amrani understands that dealing with concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, helping patients comfortably get back to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums and feeling their best.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Amrani with concerns about needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy). By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, making a positive and lasting return to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Patients experiencing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Amrani's practice, a key objective is finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• When their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth, Dr Amrani and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Amrani 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 if offered). Dr Amrani also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers 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 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE VSL DR WISDOM.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Amrani at CENTRE DENTAIRE VSL DR WISDOM?

At your initial appointment, Dr Amrani and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE VSL DR WISDOM 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 Amrani will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE VSL DR WISDOM directly to arrange their visit with Dr Amrani.

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 Amrani 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Amrani will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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). Follow Dr Amrani's specific recommendation.
