At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW, 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 Khazne frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Khazne when they first notice 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). Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, enabling them to once again enjoy no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out without hesitation.
• If an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention has unfortunately put their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Khazne works closely with patients towards attaining experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Understanding the frustration a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection can cause, Dr Khazne tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, allowing for renewed participation in activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Dr Khazne expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Khazne, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Khazne 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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Khazne determines the frequency based on your oral health, risk factors, and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Khazne will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Always follow Dr Khazne's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Khazne at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW?

At your first appointment, expect to complete a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Khazne will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Khazne provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Khazne for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW.
