- 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 always 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 Kassabian 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 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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- 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, a referral from a general dentist like Dr Kassabian is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr Kassabian identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kassabian at the clinic?
- At your initial appointment, Dr Kassabian and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Kassabian will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Kassabian typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Kassabian is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 possibly cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
- What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?
- Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr Kassabian can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Kassabian can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Kassabian?
- No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Kassabian for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Kassabian for a check-up and cleaning?
- Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Kassabian will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Follow Dr Kassabian's specific recommendation.
