At DENTAL MANHATTAN DENTAIRE INC, 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 Bota frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, Dr Bota offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• If persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Bota develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Effectively addressing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit with Dr Bota's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing and social interactions.
• The journey from needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional to wellness often involves Dr Bota's dedicated care. The milestone is their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Bota 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 essential to follow Dr Bota's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bota at DENTAL MANHATTAN DENTAIRE INC?

Your first visit with Dr Bota 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 Bota 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 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at DENTAL MANHATTAN DENTAIRE INC.

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 any potential 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 Bota 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).
