At Clinique dentaire Dre Zeina Abou-Khalil, 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 Bojji frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Bojji with concerns about a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, making a positive and lasting return to singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Effectively addressing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment with Dr Bojji's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and social interactions.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Bojji when they first notice a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without hesitation.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure is a common journey for patients under Dr Bojji's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems become straightforward again.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Bojji 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). Dr Bojji also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Clinique dentaire Dre Zeina Abou-Khalil's regular office hours?

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 Clinique dentaire Dre Zeina Abou-Khalil’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) 608-7555. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Bojji or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Montréal area.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Dre Zeina Abou-Khalil directly to arrange their visit with Dr Bojji.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Bojji. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Bojji identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Bojji will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Follow Dr Bojji's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment.

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. Dr Bojji 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bojji at Clinique dentaire Dre Zeina Abou-Khalil?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 Bojji will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
