At MADENTISTERIE, 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 Azmi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, involves working systematically towards feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. Dr Azmi expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• For patients where their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is a primary concern, Dr Azmi focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr Azmi offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Azmi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, 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). Dr Azmi also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Azmi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Azmi's specific recommendation.

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 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment at MADENTISTERIE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Azmi at MADENTISTERIE?

Your first visit with Dr Azmi 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 Azmi 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.
