At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CARTIERVILLE, 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 Terzibachi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Terzibachi with concerns about experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them not just possible, but highly feasible.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Terzibachi about experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is to attain their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• When patients discuss experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite, Dr Terzibachi outlines a path to their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• A key objective when treating a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider at Dr Terzibachi's welcoming dental clinic is achieving being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.

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

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Terzibachi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Terzibachi at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CARTIERVILLE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Terzibachi and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CARTIERVILLE 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 Terzibachi 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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is strongly recommended 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 CARTIERVILLE.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Terzibachi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Terzibachi's specific recommendation.
