At Art Dentaire Familial, 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 Khodayari frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by 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), Dr Khodayari's approach is focused on delivering their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work with a healthier smile.
• When patients discuss their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling, Dr Khodayari outlines a path to their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• Dr Khodayari provides dedicated support for patients going through experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits, always aiming for positive outcomes like the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Are you struggling with experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite? Dr Khodayari partners with patients to target their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance a much more achievable reality.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Khodayari 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Khodayari will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Khodayari's specific recommendation is crucial.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Khodayari offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Khodayari focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary.
