• Through Dr Amin's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) often find they can readily achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Amin about simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning is to attain the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Amin to see patients who were troubled by their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach successfully achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact BELLA DENTAIRE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Amin.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Amin 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 Amin for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Amin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Amin's specific recommendation.

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 important 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 BELLA DENTAIRE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Amin at BELLA DENTAIRE?

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