• Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease): Inflammation of the gums characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding, often caused by plaque buildup; reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.

Dental Pain Emergency

• Lost Filling or Crown: Repairing or replacing dental restorations that have failed or been lost.

At CENTRE DENTAIRE PARISLOFT, 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 Endo frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits with Dr Endo's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities and social interactions.
• Are you struggling with a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident? Dr Endo partners with patients to target transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments a much more achievable reality.
• Managing a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Endo and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Endo when they first notice a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Endo, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Endo is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Endo also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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 minimize exposure further. 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. Endo 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).

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE PARISLOFT.

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

For most patients, visits every 6 months for preventative care are recommended. However, Dr. Endo 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Endo's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Endo at CENTRE DENTAIRE PARISLOFT?

At your first appointment, Dr. Endo and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Endo will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
