At Hôpital général Juif, 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 Centomo-Bozzo frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Centomo-Bozzo expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• If a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Centomo-Bozzo develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• Understanding the frustration an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching can cause, Dr Centomo-Bozzo tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, allowing for renewed participation in activities like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation at Dr Centomo-Bozzo'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 concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Centomo-Bozzo at Hôpital général Juif?

At your initial appointment, Dr Centomo-Bozzo and the team at Hôpital général Juif 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 Centomo-Bozzo will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered by RAMQ. 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). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Centomo-Bozzo typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Centomo-Bozzo is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Centomo-Bozzo 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Centomo-Bozzo's specific recommendations.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Centomo-Bozzo?

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact Hôpital général Juif directly to arrange a visit with Dr Centomo-Bozzo.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr Centomo-Bozzo will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
