At CENTRE DENTAIRE HANNA, 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 Hanna frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance, Dr Hanna and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade and a return to comfort and confidence.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Hanna to see patients who were troubled by wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent successfully achieve their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• A key objective when treating feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time at Dr Hanna's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to, involves working systematically towards no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. Dr Hanna expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hanna at CENTRE DENTAIRE HANNA?

At your initial appointment, Dr Hanna and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE HANNA will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Hanna will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great 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 to further minimize exposure. 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 Hanna 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 Hanna?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE HANNA directly to arrange their visit with Dr Hanna.

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 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE HANNA.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Hanna will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's important to follow Dr Hanna's specific recommendation.
