At LES ESPACE SOURIRE - CENTRE DENTAIRE LAVAL, 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 El-Mohamad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr El-Mohamad's practice, a key objective is experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), which directly supports their ability to fully engage in being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• Dr El-Mohamad often consults with patients whose a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite significantly limits their enjoyment of confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr El-Mohamad provides dedicated support for patients going through their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed, always aiming for positive outcomes like understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• When an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr El-Mohamad helps patients strive for receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This makes participating in activities such as no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr El-Mohamad 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 El-Mohamad for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr El-Mohamad will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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 crucial to follow Dr El-Mohamad'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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact LES ESPACE SOURIRE - CENTRE DENTAIRE LAVAL directly to arrange their visit with Dr El-Mohamad.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr El-Mohamad at LES ESPACE SOURIRE - CENTRE DENTAIRE LAVAL?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 El-Mohamad will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr El-Mohamad provides primary dental care for all ages, offering 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 complex needs.

What payment options are available at LES ESPACE SOURIRE - CENTRE DENTAIRE LAVAL for dental services?
