At Dr. Tamara Obarian's practice, 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 Obarian frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If 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) has unfortunately put smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Obarian works closely with patients towards attaining the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Patients presenting with a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy under Dr Obarian's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is a common journey for patients under Dr Obarian's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, so that daily routines and pleasures like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children become straightforward again.
• If their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos or causing discomfort, Dr Obarian offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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), 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 to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at the clinic.

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

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

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Obarian 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Obarian 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Obarian's specific recommendation is essential.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Obarian at the clinic?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 Obarian will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Obarian for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
