What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Ah-Lan typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Ah-Lan 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 Ah-Lan 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 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 your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique Dentaire Brossard Dre Tiffany Ah-Lan.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr Ah-Lan can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Ah-Lan can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ah-Lan at Clinique Dentaire Brossard Dre Tiffany Ah-Lan?

Your first visit 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 Ah-Lan will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay). Dr Ah-Lan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Ah-Lan?

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Clinique Dentaire Brossard Dre Tiffany Ah-Lan directly.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Ah-Lan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs and risk factors. Follow Dr Ah-Lan's specific recommendation.
