At Le Centre Dentaire Anjou, 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 Mia frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Mia and the dental team. The clear aim is always their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Mia provides dedicated support for patients going through simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning, always aiming for positive outcomes like their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• Patients experiencing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Mia's practice, a key objective is achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• When a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Mia helps patients strive for their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This makes participating in activities such as their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet a pleasant and possible experience again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Mia, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Mia 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 Mia at Le Centre Dentaire Anjou?

Your first visit with Dr Mia 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 Mia 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 Mia for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Mia 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 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. Following Dr Mia's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Mia is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr Mia also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Le Centre Dentaire Anjou.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Mia 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 do if I have a dental emergency outside of Le Centre Dentaire Anjou's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Le Centre Dentaire Anjou’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 254-2000.
