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

A General Dentist like Dr. Iskandar 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 treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to check your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Iskandar at Chez Soie Dentisterie?

At your first visit, Dr. Iskandar and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Iskandar will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Iskandar will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What payment options are available at Chez Soie Dentisterie for dental services?

Payment is usually due at the time of service. Chez Soie Dentisterie accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. They also process claims for most private dental insurance plans. For payment plans for larger treatments, speak with their administrative staff.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Iskandar for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Chez Soie Dentisterie.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Iskandar will personalize the schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions (e.g., those with gum disease might need more frequent visits). Always follow Dr. Iskandar's specific recommendations.
