At Centre Dentaire St-Léonard, 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 Mirarchi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Mirarchi expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Mirarchi when they first notice an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication without hesitation.
• When a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies, Dr Mirarchi and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism and a return to comfort and confidence.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Mirarchi about a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is to attain their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like 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 Mirarchi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Mirarchi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Mirarchi will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Mirarchi's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Mirarchi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mirarchi at Centre Dentaire St-Léonard?

At your initial appointment, Dr Mirarchi and the team at Centre Dentaire St-Léonard 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Mirarchi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Mirarchi offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Mirarchi focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

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

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 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 your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Dr Mirarchi and our team at Centre Dentaire St-Léonard 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 Mirarchi. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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