What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Wali-Alami typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Wali-Alami 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 Wali-Alami also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex 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 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 Wali-Alami 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Wali-Alami will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr Wali-Alami's specific recommendation is crucial.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Wali-Alami?

Typically, no referral is needed. Patients can contact SOURIRES SOLIDAIRES directly.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Wali-Alami at SOURIRES SOLIDAIRES?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: review of 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 Wali-Alami will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A cleaning may also be performed or scheduled.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
