At Centre dentaire Tammy Raymond, 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 Jakani frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Jakani's practice, a key objective is their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• Dr Jakani provides dedicated support for patients going through an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, always aiming for positive outcomes like a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• Are you struggling with their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed? Dr Jakani partners with patients to target gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions a much more achievable reality.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients at Dr Jakani's practice is consistently achieving their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Jakani, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Jakani 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 Jakani at Centre dentaire Tammy Raymond?

Your first visit with Dr Jakani 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 Jakani 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Jakani 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Jakani 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Jakani's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Jakani for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Tammy Raymond.

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 also used. 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 Jakani 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 essential 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.
