At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TERJANIAN, 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 Laleg frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr Laleg's professional help and expertise when dealing with a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal, Dr Laleg offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Dr Laleg understands that dealing with their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty and feeling their best.
• Overcoming or effectively managing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is a common journey for patients under Dr Laleg's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity become straightforward again.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Laleg 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Laleg also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Laleg will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Laleg at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TERJANIAN?

At your initial appointment, Dr Laleg and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TERJANIAN will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Laleg will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What is CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TERJANIAN's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 48 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Laleg. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Check your coverage and eligibility before treatment.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TERJANIAN directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Laleg.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Laleg will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Follow Dr Laleg's specific recommendations.
