At Centre dentaire Amical, 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 Vassiliadis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Vassiliadis to see patients who were troubled by a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close successfully achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Patients experiencing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Vassiliadis's practice, a key objective is a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Dr Vassiliadis understands that dealing with their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care and feeling their best.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, involves working systematically towards achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. Dr Vassiliadis expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.

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

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Vassiliadis help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Vassiliadis can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Vassiliadis at Centre dentaire Amical?

Your first visit with Dr Vassiliadis will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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 Vassiliadis will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Vassiliadis will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Following Dr Vassiliadis's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Dr Vassiliadis will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Vassiliadis for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Amical.

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