• Dental Sealants: Protective sealants for children and adolescents to safeguard vulnerable back teeth from decay.
• Root Canal Treatment (Non-Surgical Endodontics - Uncomplicated Cases): Performing root canal therapy on infected or irreversibly inflamed tooth pulp (nerve), typically for anterior (front) teeth and premolars in uncomplicated cases, to save the natural tooth from extraction and relieve pain or infection.
• Inlays & Onlays (Partial Crowns): Durable and precisely fitting partial crowns designed to preserve more natural tooth structure while effectively repairing significant decay or fractures on the chewing surfaces.

At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LUIS ACUNA, 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 Roldán frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr Roldán outlines a path to their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Through Dr Roldán's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach often find they can readily achieve their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• For those affected by an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr Roldán provides solutions that lead to their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Effectively addressing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment with Dr Roldán's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures and social interactions.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Roldán for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LUIS ACUNA.

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 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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is 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 CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LUIS ACUNA.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Roldán 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 Roldán for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Roldán will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's essential to follow Dr Roldán's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Roldán at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LUIS ACUNA?

At your initial appointment, Dr Roldán and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LUIS ACUNA 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 Roldán will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
