At CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE SAINT-DENIS, 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 Nakhlé frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Nakhlé's comprehensive care for wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is meticulously designed to result in their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth without dental worries.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Nakhlé when they first notice a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, enabling them to once again enjoy confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions without hesitation.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Nakhlé to see patients who were troubled by wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances successfully achieve their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is a common journey for patients under Dr Nakhlé's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort become straightforward again.

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 to 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 Nakhlé 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).

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nakhlé 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 (e.g., those 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 Nakhlé's specific recommendation.

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 is essential 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 CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE SAINT-DENIS.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nakhlé at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE SAINT-DENIS?

Your first visit with Dr Nakhlé 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 Nakhlé will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
