At CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE, 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 Malaxos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities under Dr Malaxos's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments without the former limitations or discomfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Malaxos to see patients who were troubled by a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them successfully achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Malaxos with concerns about a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, making a positive and lasting return to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort not just possible, but highly feasible.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems at Dr Malaxos's practice is consistently achieving their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Malaxos 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 Malaxos also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Malaxos at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Malaxos and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE 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 Malaxos will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Malaxos 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 might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Malaxos'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 which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Malaxos 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).

Payment for services is generally expected at the time treatment is rendered.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE.
