At Carrefour dentaire 440, 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 Laloum frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Laloum's comprehensive care for wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances is meticulously designed to result in achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences without dental worries.
• Dr Laloum expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Are you struggling with noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity? Dr Laloum partners with patients to target their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking a much more achievable reality.
• Understanding the frustration a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile can cause, Dr Laloum tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

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

The clinic is conveniently located near Place Bell (Arena/Theatre) and is accessible via Société de transport de Laval (STL). Ample parking is generally available close to the dental office; please observe local signage.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Laloum will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Laloum's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Laloum for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Carrefour dentaire 440.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Laloum 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Laloum at Carrefour dentaire 440?

At your initial appointment, Dr Laloum and the team at Carrefour dentaire 440 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 Laloum will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 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's important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Carrefour dentaire 440.
