At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BELLERIVE, 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 Eid frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Eid about a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is to attain their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly at Dr Eid's practice is consistently achieving their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• Patients experiencing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Eid's practice, a key objective is their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Dr Eid often consults with patients whose their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling significantly limits their enjoyment of maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

Dr Eid's practice, CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BELLERIVE, is situated in a central location within the Montréal neighborhood of Montréal. The clinic is conveniently located near local shops and community amenities and is accessible via major local public transit routes. Street parking and nearby lots offer accessible options for your visit.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BELLERIVE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Eid.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Eid 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Eid's specific recommendations.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Eid 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Eid at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BELLERIVE?

Your first visit with Dr Eid 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 Eid 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.

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BELLERIVE.
