What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr El-Khouri typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr El-Khouri 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper 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 Quebec, provincial health plans like RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr El-Khouri will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Follow Dr El-Khouri'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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr El-Khouri will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and adheres to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr El-Khouri?

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LUMIDENT directly to schedule an appointment with Dr El-Khouri.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr El-Khouri at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LUMIDENT?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr El-Khouri, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr El-Khouri will then explain their findings and any recommended treatment options. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.
