At CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE, 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 Tabet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Tabet about simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning is to attain the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Dr Tabet expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Dr Tabet's comprehensive care for their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing is meticulously designed to result in their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without dental worries.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Tabet to see patients who were troubled by an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching successfully achieve their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

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

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

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Tabet 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 Tabet typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Tabet is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Tabet will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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 important to follow Dr Tabet's specific recommendation.

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tabet at CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE?

Your first visit 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 Tabet will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
