At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE R.G, 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 Farhat frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr Farhat's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly often find they can readily achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• The journey from their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing to wellness often involves Dr Farhat's dedicated care. The milestone is their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, which opens the door back to activities such as enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, involves working systematically towards experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. Dr Farhat expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• A key objective when treating their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed at Dr Farhat's welcoming dental clinic is achieving receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Farhat 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 crucial to follow Dr Farhat's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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

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

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 usually paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE R.G.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Farhat at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE R.G?

At your initial appointment, Dr Farhat and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE R.G will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Farhat will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 also 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 Farhat 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).
