At CENTRE DE SANTÉ BUCCO-DENTAIRE QUEEN ÉLIZABETH, 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 Tsialtas frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Tsialtas's comprehensive care for a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is meticulously designed to result in their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort without dental worries.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing at Dr Tsialtas's practice is consistently achieving experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• If experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite is preventing you from fully enjoying their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends or causing discomfort, Dr Tsialtas offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Effectively addressing a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming with Dr Tsialtas's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth and social interactions.

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

While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Tsialtas.

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

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 Tsialtas 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 Tsialtas for a check-up and cleaning?

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tsialtas at CENTRE DE SANTÉ BUCCO-DENTAIRE QUEEN ÉLIZABETH?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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 Tsialtas will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also often be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tsialtas provides primary dental care, offering 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 may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify your coverage and insurance details before treatment.
