At DENTISTERIE HOCHELAGA, 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 Tordjman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Tordjman develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• Dr Tordjman provides dedicated support for patients going through a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• Patients experiencing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Tordjman's practice, a key objective is their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• For those affected by a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr Tordjman provides solutions that lead to feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Tordjman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Tordjman 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 crucial to follow Dr Tordjman's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tordjman at DENTISTERIE HOCHELAGA?

Your first visit with Dr Tordjman will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Tordjman will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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. 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 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 DENTISTERIE HOCHELAGA.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Tordjman 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 Tordjman?

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tordjman 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, 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). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
