At Clinique dentaire Cartier Inc., 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 Attaran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, Dr Attaran outlines a path to their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Attaran when they first notice a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes without hesitation.
• Patients experiencing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional often express a desire to improve their oral health and function.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Attaran 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 Attaran also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Cartier Inc. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Attaran.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Attaran 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Attaran's specific recommendation is key.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 necessary, and Dr Attaran will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Attaran offer any sedation options?

Dr Attaran and our team at Clinique dentaire Cartier Inc. are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. Please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Attaran.
