At CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY, 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 Deda frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances? Dr Deda partners with patients to target their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort a much more achievable reality.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Deda about an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is to attain finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• A key objective when treating noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity at Dr Deda's welcoming dental clinic is achieving the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Deda to see patients who were troubled by wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent successfully achieve feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Deda at CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY?

Your first visit with Dr Deda 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 Deda 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.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Deda 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 caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Deda's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, most routine and major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics are not covered by the provincial health insurance plan (Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec, or RAMQ). Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered by RAMQ, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Most dental care costs are typically paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Some government assistance programs may offer dental coverage for eligible groups such as low-income families with children or seniors on specific benefits. It's essential to check with RAMQ and your private insurance provider to understand your coverage before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE JOSÉE LANDRY directly to book an appointment with Dr Deda.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to detect cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Deda will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to minimize radiation exposure.
