What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Melki offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Melki focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Melki will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Melki's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DE MICRO ENDODONTIE ET DE PARODONTIE endodontie et de parodontie directly to arrange their visit with Dr Melki.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Melki 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 may also include some cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Melki also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered under specific circumstances. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's 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 DE MICRO ENDODONTIE ET DE PARODONTIE endodontie et de parodontie.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Melki 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).

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Melki help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Melki can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Melki at CENTRE DE MICRO ENDODONTIE ET DE PARODONTIE endodontie et de parodontie?

Your first visit with Dr Melki 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 Melki will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
