At CLINIQUE WISDOM CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE VSL, 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 Ajam frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, involves working systematically towards their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. Dr Ajam expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem, Dr Ajam offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Dr Ajam provides dedicated support for patients going through concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• A key objective when treating feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr Ajam's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Ajam, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ajam at CLINIQUE WISDOM CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE VSL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Ajam and the team at CLINIQUE WISDOM CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE VSL will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Ajam will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE WISDOM CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE VSL directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ajam.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Ajam will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need 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. It is crucial to follow Dr Ajam's specific recommendations.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Ajam 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).

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 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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). 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 before starting treatment at CLINIQUE WISDOM CENTRE DENTAIRE AOUDE VSL.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Ajam 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, 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). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
