At Centre dentaire Petruccelli Inc., 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 Nimeh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable, involves working systematically towards experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. Dr Nimeh expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Nimeh to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation successfully achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit at Dr Nimeh's practice is consistently achieving their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• With Dr Nimeh's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment is focused on achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care without dental concerns.

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

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) <strong>before</strong> starting treatment at Centre dentaire Petruccelli Inc..

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nimeh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Nimeh's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nimeh at Centre dentaire Petruccelli Inc.?

Your first visit will typically include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening); and any necessary X-rays. Dr Nimeh will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this or a subsequent visit.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a general dentist like Dr Nimeh for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Petruccelli Inc..

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nimeh is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services, including 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, if offered). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Nimeh 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).
