At LE DENTISTE, 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 Bazzal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Bazzal often consults with patients whose a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients significantly limits their enjoyment of showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• When a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences, Dr Bazzal and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Bazzal develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• Are you struggling with 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 Bazzal partners with patients to target their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends a much more achievable reality.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Bazzal will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may require more frequent visits (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 essential to follow Dr Bazzal's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact LE DENTISTE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Bazzal.

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) generally do NOT cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are typically paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at LE DENTISTE.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Bazzal 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).

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Bazzal. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at LE DENTISTE. For extra protection, especially in children, Dr Bazzal might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Bazzal is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bazzal at LE DENTISTE?

Your first visit will involve getting to know you and your oral health. You'll 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 Bazzal will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's an excellent opportunity to ask questions.
