At CENTRE DENTAIRE JACQUES-CARTIER, 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 Jabbar frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain at Dr Jabbar's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• If a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food has unfortunately put speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Jabbar works closely with patients towards attaining the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr Jabbar's comprehensive care for a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is meticulously designed to result in successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem without dental worries.
• If simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning is preventing you from fully enjoying their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth or causing discomfort, Dr Jabbar offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Jabbar, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Jabbar is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for optimal preventative care. However, Dr Jabbar will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Jabbar's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jabbar at CENTRE DENTAIRE JACQUES-CARTIER?

At your initial appointment, Dr Jabbar and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE JACQUES-CARTIER will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Jabbar will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 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). It's crucial to verify any public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE JACQUES-CARTIER.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE JACQUES-CARTIER directly to arrange their visit with Dr Jabbar.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Jabbar is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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 like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good overall health. Dr Jabbar can perform a comprehensive assessment, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to determine your suitability. Dr Jabbar offers implant consultations and can discuss if they are an appropriate treatment option for you. If needed, Dr Jabbar can refer you to a specialist for implant placement.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr Jabbar will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to safety guidelines.
