At Clinique dentaire Métro Papineau 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 Elyas frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach, involves working systematically towards their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. Dr Elyas expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• The journey from wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth to wellness often involves Dr Elyas's dedicated care. The milestone is their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• When patients discuss an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, Dr Elyas outlines a path to achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of 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 Elyas offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Elyas will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Elyas's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 Elyas 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).

Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Elyas will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Métro Papineau inc..

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