At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MES DENTISTES (MICHEL A LAVOIE + ASSOCIÉS), 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 Souissi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Souissi when they first notice a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance without hesitation.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Souissi to see patients who were troubled by their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care successfully achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• The journey from needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth to wellness often involves Dr Souissi's dedicated care. The milestone is achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, which opens the door back to activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
• Patients experiencing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Souissi's practice, a key objective is their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Souissi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Souissi at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MES DENTISTES (MICHEL A LAVOIE + ASSOCIÉS)?

Your first visit with Dr Souissi will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination.

Dr Souissi 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.

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MES DENTISTES (MICHEL A LAVOIE + ASSOCIÉS) offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MES DENTISTES (MICHEL A LAVOIE + ASSOCIÉS) directly to arrange their visit with Dr Souissi.

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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 diagnostically necessary. Dr Souissi 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).

What is CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MES DENTISTES (MICHEL A LAVOIE + ASSOCIÉS)'s policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?
