At Aura Clinique Dentaire Elite, 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 Arnason frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Arnason's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard is focused on achieving their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth without dental concerns.
• Patients experiencing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Arnason's practice, a key objective is a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• If a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them has unfortunately put no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Arnason works closely with patients towards attaining their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Managing a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Arnason and the dental team. The clear aim is always no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Arnason 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 might 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 crucial to follow Dr Arnason's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

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

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Arnason 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Arnason at Aura Clinique Dentaire Elite?

At your initial appointment, Dr Arnason and the team at Aura Clinique Dentaire Elite 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 Arnason 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 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 strongly recommended 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 Aura Clinique Dentaire Elite.
