• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods at Dr Esfahani's practice is consistently achieving their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Patients presenting with a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak under Dr Esfahani's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre dentaire Maud Chevalier Inc. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Esfahani.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Esfahani at Centre dentaire Maud Chevalier Inc.?

Your first visit with Dr Esfahani 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 Esfahani will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might 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 the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Centre dentaire Maud Chevalier Inc.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Esfahani 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 may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Esfahani's specific recommendations.

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 Esfahani will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Esfahani 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 management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes bad breath. Periodontitis may show receding gums, pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or bite changes. If you see these symptoms, contact Dr Esfahani promptly.

What payment options are available at Centre dentaire Maud Chevalier Inc. for dental services?

Payment is typically due at the time of service. Centre dentaire Maud Chevalier Inc. accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. They also handle claims for most private dental insurance plans. Inquire about payment plans for larger treatments.
