At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILE-END, 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 Malotsis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Malotsis's practice, a key objective is their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Malotsis to see patients who were troubled by their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling successfully achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Through Dr Malotsis's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) often find they can readily achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Dr Malotsis often consults with patients whose needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury significantly limits their enjoyment of actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Malotsis 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 Malotsis 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 Malotsis at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILE-END?

At your initial appointment, Dr Malotsis and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MILE-END 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 Malotsis will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Malotsis are crucial for early detection and effective 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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Malotsis 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Malotsis will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Malotsis's specific recommendation.
