Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Abikhzer in Montréal
- 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. We appreciate your cooperation.
- 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.
