At SOINS DENTAIRES BAMBACE, 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 Abouelenin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, Dr Abouelenin outlines a path to transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Dr Abouelenin expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• For individuals troubled by feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, Dr Abouelenin's approach is focused on delivering receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain with a healthier smile.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Abouelenin to see patients who were troubled by their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling successfully achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Abouelenin, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Abouelenin 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).

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 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at SOINS DENTAIRES BAMBACE.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Abouelenin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Abouelenin's specific recommendation is essential.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Abouelenin at SOINS DENTAIRES BAMBACE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Abouelenin and the team at SOINS DENTAIRES BAMBACE 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 Abouelenin will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Abouelenin typically provide?

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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