At SPA DENTAIRE LAVAL, 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 Mahseredjian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems to wellness often involves Dr Mahseredjian's dedicated care. The milestone is experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, which opens the door back to activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• At Dr Mahseredjian's clinic, addressing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Mahseredjian when they first notice feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, enabling them to once again enjoy their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits without hesitation.
• Dr Mahseredjian understands that dealing with a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, helping patients comfortably get back to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them and feeling their best.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mahseredjian at SPA DENTAIRE LAVAL?

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Mahseredjian 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).

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial 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 SPA DENTAIRE LAVAL.

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Mahseredjian 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 is important to follow Dr Mahseredjian's specific recommendation.
