At ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC, 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 Greiche frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing to wellness often involves Dr Greiche's dedicated care. The milestone is having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Many people seek Dr Greiche's professional help and expertise when dealing with their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral). The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• Dr Greiche provides dedicated support for patients going through a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture, always aiming for positive outcomes like the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, involves working systematically towards their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. Dr Greiche expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.

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

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 875-8511.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Greiche at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Greiche and the team at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC 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 Greiche 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 Greiche for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Greiche 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. It is important to follow Dr Greiche's specific recommendation.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC directly to arrange their visit with Dr Greiche.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Greiche 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Greiche typically provide?

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