At Centre Dentaire Concorde, 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 Germanos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Germanos about a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is to attain their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• At Dr Germanos's clinic, addressing their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Germanos to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain successfully achieve their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Germanos with concerns about an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, making a positive and lasting return to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Germanos at Centre Dentaire Concorde?

Your first visit with Dr Germanos 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 Germanos 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.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Germanos will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Germanos's specific recommendations.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is essential to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary, such as for new patients or to check for decay. Dr Germanos will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
