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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Boudjeltia 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).

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

Dr Boudjeltia 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Boudjeltia will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. 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 important to follow Dr Boudjeltia's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact SOINS DENTAIRES ET IMPLANTOLOGIE DRE AMÉLIE PRÉVOST directly to arrange their visit with Dr Boudjeltia.

At your initial appointment, Dr Boudjeltia and the team at SOINS DENTAIRES ET IMPLANTOLOGIE DRE AMÉLIE PRÉVOST will focus on getting to know you and your 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 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 strongly advised 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 SOINS DENTAIRES ET IMPLANTOLOGIE DRE AMÉLIE PRÉVOST.
