At Clinique Dentaire Mountain View, 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 Abboud frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is a primary concern, Dr Abboud focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• For those affected by an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr Abboud provides solutions that lead to their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection is a common journey for patients under Dr Abboud's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, so that daily routines and pleasures like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort become straightforward again.
• Managing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Abboud and the dental team. The clear aim is always finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Abboud at Clinique Dentaire Mountain View?

Your first visit with Dr Abboud 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 Abboud 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.

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

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Abboud 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 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 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 Clinique Dentaire Mountain View.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Abboud is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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 patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Abboud will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Abboud's specific recommendations.
