At Groupe Dentaire Pardo, 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 Khoshab frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances at Dr Khoshab's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Dr Khoshab often consults with patients whose their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening significantly limits their enjoyment of their child participating happily in school photos and social activities or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Overcoming or effectively managing feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is a common journey for patients under Dr Khoshab's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress, so that daily routines and pleasures like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children become straightforward again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, Dr Khoshab offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Khoshab, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Khoshab is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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

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 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 essential 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 Groupe Dentaire Pardo.

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 any potential exposure. 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 Khoshab 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Groupe Dentaire Pardo directly to arrange their visit with Dr Khoshab.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Khoshab at Groupe Dentaire Pardo?

Your first visit with Dr Khoshab 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 Khoshab 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.
