At Antony Carbery Dentisterie, 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 Carbery frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Carbery's practice, a key objective is the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• Dr Carbery's comprehensive care for a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is meticulously designed to result in finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily without dental worries.
• If a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces is preventing you from fully enjoying their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication or causing discomfort, Dr Carbery offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Effectively addressing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant with Dr Carbery's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain and social interactions.

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

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr Carbery are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr Carbery may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Carbery will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need 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. It is important to follow Dr Carbery's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Carbery at Antony Carbery Dentisterie?

Your first visit with Dr Carbery 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 Carbery 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.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Some government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Antony Carbery Dentisterie.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Carbery is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and initial management of gum disease. General Dentists may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 Carbery 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 is Antony Carbery Dentisterie's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Carbery.
