At CENTRE CLINICO-DENTAIRE DR. ANTHONY IANNELLA, 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 Iannella frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation at Dr Iannella's practice is consistently achieving their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• Through Dr Iannella's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming often find they can readily achieve their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• At Dr Iannella's clinic, addressing experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Dr Iannella provides dedicated support for patients going through recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, always aiming for positive outcomes like a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Iannella will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Iannella's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospital settings might be covered. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's essential to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CENTRE CLINICO-DENTAIRE DR. ANTHONY IANNELLA.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Iannella at CENTRE CLINICO-DENTAIRE DR. ANTHONY IANNELLA?

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 Iannella will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Iannella will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No, a referral isn't typically needed to see a general dentist. You can contact CENTRE CLINICO-DENTAIRE DR. ANTHONY IANNELLA directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Iannella.

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