At DR ESKENAZI & DR SUISSA DENTISTERIE FAMILIALE, 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 Eskenazi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- If their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development has unfortunately put their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Eskenazi works closely with patients towards attaining their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
- For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming, Dr Eskenazi offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
- Patients presenting with a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area under Dr Eskenazi's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth without the former limitations or discomfort.
- Are you struggling with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence? Dr Eskenazi partners with patients to target their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile a much more achievable reality.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Eskenazi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Eskenazi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Eskenazi?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact DR ESKENAZI & DR SUISSA DENTISTERIE FAMILIALE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Eskenazi.
- 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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 DR ESKENAZI & DR SUISSA DENTISTERIE FAMILIALE.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Eskenazi at DR ESKENAZI & DR SUISSA DENTISTERIE FAMILIALE?
- At your initial appointment, Dr Eskenazi and the team at DR ESKENAZI & DR SUISSA DENTISTERIE FAMILIALE will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Eskenazi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Eskenazi for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Eskenazi 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is important to follow Dr Eskenazi's specific recommendations.
- 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 Eskenazi 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).
