• Oral Cancer Screening: Regular visual and tactile screening of the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat to detect any early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions.

At SYBEL DENTISTERIE, 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 Rettab frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Rettab provides dedicated support for patients going through wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, always aiming for positive outcomes like receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.
• For patients where a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture is a primary concern, Dr Rettab focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• Understanding the frustration needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth can cause, Dr Rettab tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, allowing for renewed participation in activities like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• The journey from a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns to wellness often involves Dr Rettab's dedicated care. The milestone is their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.

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

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at SYBEL DENTISTERIE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rettab at SYBEL DENTISTERIE?

Your first visit with Dr Rettab 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 Rettab 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 Rettab for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rettab 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 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. Always follow Dr Rettab's specific recommendation.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Rettab 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Rettab typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Rettab 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding, if offered). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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