At Clinique Dentaire Rotondo, 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 Garberi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Garberi helps patients strive for their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr Garberi expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional at Dr Garberi's practice is consistently achieving their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• Dr Garberi understands that dealing with a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem and feeling their best.

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

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

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Garberi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Garberi at Clinique Dentaire Rotondo?

At your initial appointment, Dr Garberi and the team at Clinique Dentaire Rotondo 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 Garberi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Garberi 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Garberi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Garberi's specific recommendation is key.

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 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). Always verify your coverage and insurance details before treatment.
