At Clinique de parodontie Rockland, 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 Hatefi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Hatefi's comprehensive care for their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is meticulously designed to result in their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity without dental worries.
• For individuals troubled by feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, Dr Hatefi's approach is focused on delivering experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures with a healthier smile.
• When patients discuss needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy), Dr Hatefi outlines a path to experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hatefi at Clinique de parodontie Rockland?

At your initial appointment, Dr Hatefi and the team at Clinique de parodontie Rockland 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 Hatefi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Hatefi 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Hatefi's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Clinique de parodontie Rockland's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Clinique de parodontie Rockland’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 508-2442. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Hatefi or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Mont-Royal area.

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

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

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. 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 Hatefi 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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Hatefi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
