At CENTRE DENTAIRE PIERREFONDS, 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 Bedirian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth has unfortunately put confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Bedirian works closely with patients towards attaining their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Bedirian when they first notice wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort without hesitation.
• At Dr Bedirian's clinic, addressing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• Patients presenting with experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized under Dr Bedirian's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort without the former limitations or discomfort.

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 Bedirian 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 Bedirian for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Bedirian will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Bedirian's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Bedirian for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE PIERREFONDS.

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 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 your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bedirian at CENTRE DENTAIRE PIERREFONDS?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening); and any necessary X-rays. Dr Bedirian will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
