At Centre dentaire Anjou, 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 Dennoune frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Dennoune to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite successfully achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, Dr Dennoune offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• For those affected by needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, Dr Dennoune provides solutions that lead to having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• When a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Dennoune helps patients strive for their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. This makes participating in activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Dennoune for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Anjou.

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. 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Centre dentaire Anjou.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Dennoune promptly.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dennoune 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dennoune at Centre dentaire Anjou?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dennoune and the team at Centre dentaire Anjou 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 Dennoune will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Dennoune will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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's essential to follow Dr Dennoune's specific recommendation.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dennoune 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).
