At Halo dentisterie, 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 Amoura frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Amoura understands that dealing with a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and feeling their best.
• A key objective when treating a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients at Dr Amoura's welcoming dental clinic is achieving the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, involves working systematically towards their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. Dr Amoura expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• If a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle or causing discomfort, Dr Amoura offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Amoura, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Amoura 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 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 by RAMQ. 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Halo dentisterie.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Halo dentisterie directly to arrange their visit with Dr Amoura.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Amoura 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Amoura's specific recommendation.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Amoura 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 Amoura at Halo dentisterie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Amoura and the team at Halo dentisterie 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 Amoura will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
