At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU CARRÉ GOUIN, 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 Barrak frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Barrak expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Barrak about a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming is to attain receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• Dr Barrak often consults with patients whose needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury significantly limits their enjoyment of concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• For those affected by needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, Dr Barrak provides solutions that lead to their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.

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 always 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 Barrak 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).

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Barrak 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Barrak's specific recommendation is key.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Barrak at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU CARRÉ GOUIN?

At your initial appointment, Dr Barrak and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU CARRÉ GOUIN 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 Barrak will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. 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). Always verify your potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU CARRÉ GOUIN directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Barrak.
