At SOCQUE CENTRE DENTAIRE ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE, 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 Babaci frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Babaci's practice, a key objective is their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity, involves working systematically towards finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. Dr Babaci expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional, Dr Babaci offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing is a common journey for patients under Dr Babaci's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism become straightforward again.

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

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Babaci 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact SOCQUE CENTRE DENTAIRE ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Babaci.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Babaci will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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). It is important to follow Dr Babaci's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Babaci at SOCQUE CENTRE DENTAIRE ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE?

Your first visit with Dr Babaci 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 Babaci will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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 Babaci typically provide?

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

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. 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 your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
