At Konigsberg Abikhzer Ortho, 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 Abikhzer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Abikhzer understands that dealing with a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, helping patients comfortably get back to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and feeling their best.
• Dr Abikhzer's comprehensive care for noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity is meticulously designed to result in the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care without dental worries.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation is a common journey for patients under Dr Abikhzer's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, so that daily routines and pleasures like their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease at Dr Abikhzer's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Abikhzer 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Abikhzer's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Abikhzer 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Abikhzer typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Abikhzer 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), 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 provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What is Konigsberg Abikhzer Ortho's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 48 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Abikhzer. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75.

Does Konigsberg Abikhzer Ortho offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

Yes, for your convenience, Konigsberg Abikhzer Ortho offers direct billing (also known as assignment of benefits) to most major dental insurance companies. This means we can submit your claim electronically directly to your insurer at the time of your appointment. You would then typically be responsible for paying any co-payment, deductible, or the portion of the fee not covered by your specific plan at the time of service. Please bring all your current insurance information (policy number, group number, ID number) to your appointment so we can assist you.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Abikhzer at Konigsberg Abikhzer Ortho?

Your first visit with Dr Abikhzer 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 Abikhzer will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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 QC, 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, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is essential to check your private dental insurance coverage and verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before treatment.
