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 Lisbona frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Lisbona develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• The journey from a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about to wellness often involves Dr Lisbona's dedicated care. The milestone is feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction, which opens the door back to activities such as replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed at Dr Lisbona's practice is consistently achieving the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• 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 Lisbona helps patients strive for their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This makes participating in activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lisbona 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).

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). 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 Lisbona?

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

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

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Lisbona will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Lisbona's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lisbona at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL JUIF?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Lisbona will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
