At Clinique dentaire de la seigneurie, 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 Tanasescu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Tanasescu's comprehensive care for their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is meticulously designed to result in the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions without dental worries.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Tanasescu about an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is to attain feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• Understanding the frustration a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident can cause, Dr Tanasescu tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding with Dr Tanasescu's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

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 Tanasescu 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 always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique dentaire de la seigneurie.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Tanasescu will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr Tanasescu's specific recommendation.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Tanasescu offer any sedation options?

Dr Tanasescu and our team at Clinique dentaire de la seigneurie are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Tanasescu. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire de la seigneurie directly to arrange their visit with Dr Tanasescu.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tanasescu at Clinique dentaire de la seigneurie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Tanasescu and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Tanasescu will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
