At CENTRE DENTAIRE DRE MARIE DAGHER, 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 Dagher frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations, Dr Dagher and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized and a return to comfort and confidence.
• For individuals troubled by a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr Dagher's approach is focused on delivering their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth with a healthier smile.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Dagher when they first notice their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral). Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, enabling them to once again enjoy their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet without hesitation.
• Through Dr Dagher's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth often find they can readily achieve feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.

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

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dagher 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). Dr Dagher also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Dagher will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., some 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 important to follow Dr Dagher's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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. 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, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
