Achieving Your Oral Health & Smile Goals with Dr Sekhavat
At Clinique dentaire Napierville, 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 Sekhavat frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Dr Sekhavat provides dedicated support for patients going through experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease, always aiming for positive outcomes like a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
- It's always a professional highlight for Dr Sekhavat to see patients who were troubled by feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals successfully achieve experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
- Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Sekhavat when they first notice a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, enabling them to once again enjoy their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care without hesitation.
- A key objective when treating a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment at Dr Sekhavat's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Sekhavat, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Sekhavat in Napierville
- What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Sekhavat offer to improve the appearance of my smile?
- Dr Sekhavat 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.
- 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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Sekhavat 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 Sekhavat?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Napierville directly to arrange their visit with Dr Sekhavat.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Sekhavat for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sekhavat 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 more frequent visits (e.g., 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 Sekhavat's specific recommendation.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Sekhavat typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Sekhavat 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 treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include some cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education 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 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's 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 Napierville.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Sekhavat at Clinique dentaire Napierville?
- Your first visit will 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 Sekhavat will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
