• Dr Elamier often consults with patients whose their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) significantly limits their enjoyment of showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments or impacts their self-confidence.

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

However, Dr Elamier will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Elamier at Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale?

At your initial appointment, Dr Elamier and the team at Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale 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 Elamier 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 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 always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale directly to arrange their visit with Dr Elamier.

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 radiation 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 Elamier 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).
