At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE YACOVITCH, 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 Angelopoulos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr Angelopoulos's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is a common journey for patients under Dr Angelopoulos's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, so that daily routines and pleasures like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities become straightforward again.
• Dr Angelopoulos provides dedicated support for patients going through concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, always aiming for positive outcomes like their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.
• If noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity has unfortunately put enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Angelopoulos works closely with patients towards attaining their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Angelopoulos at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE YACOVITCH?

Your first visit with Dr Angelopoulos 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 Angelopoulos 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Angelopoulos will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Angelopoulos's specific recommendations.

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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE YACOVITCH.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Angelopoulos 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).
