At Centre Dentaire Zen, 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 Fang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is a common journey for patients under Dr Fang's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, so that daily routines and pleasures like attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped become straightforward again.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Fang to see patients who were troubled by wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation successfully achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Dr Fang provides dedicated support for patients going through noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity, always aiming for positive outcomes like their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Many people seek Dr Fang's professional help and expertise when dealing with an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Fang will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is essential to follow Dr Fang's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Fang at Centre Dentaire Zen?

Your first visit with Dr Fang 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 Fang 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Fang is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Fang also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Fang will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Fang for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Zen.

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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 Zen.
