At CENTRE DENTAIRE GRENET, 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 Yazbeck frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Yazbeck 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 their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment, Dr Yazbeck offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• When patients discuss their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence, Dr Yazbeck outlines a path to a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Yazbeck to see patients who were troubled by their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed successfully achieve achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Yazbeck 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).

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 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 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 always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE GRENET.

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

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Yazbeck at CENTRE DENTAIRE GRENET?

Your first visit with Dr Yazbeck 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 Yazbeck 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Yazbeck will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr Yazbeck's specific recommendation is crucial.
