• If feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth has unfortunately put feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Choucair works closely with patients towards attaining their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Choucair will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Choucair's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Choucair will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Choucair help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Choucair can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Choucair at CENTRE DENTAIRE CÔTE-VERTU?

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 Choucair will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Choucair 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.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Always verify your coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
