At CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS, 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 Naman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile, Dr Naman and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Patients experiencing wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Naman's practice, a key objective is having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Patients presenting with a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation under Dr Naman's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close, involves working systematically towards their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. Dr Naman expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Naman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Naman 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 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 by RAMQ. 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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Naman 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 cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Naman 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 need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Naman's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Naman at CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS?

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

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 during the procedure. 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 Naman 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 Naman?

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS directly to arrange a visit with Dr Naman.
