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

A General Dentist like Dr Stasinopoulos 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 Stasinopoulos for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Stasinopoulos will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 Stasinopoulos's specific recommendation is crucial.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Stasinopoulos at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MASSAS?

Your first visit will typically 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 Stasinopoulos will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Stasinopoulos for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MASSAS.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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 complex treatments). Dr Stasinopoulos will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
