At CENTRE ENDODONTIQUE DE MONTREAL, MONT-ROYAL, 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 Alvaro frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine, Dr Alvaro and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Dr Alvaro provides dedicated support for patients going through a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, always aiming for positive outcomes like an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• Effectively addressing their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession with Dr Alvaro's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth and social interactions.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Alvaro when they first notice their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Alvaro for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE ENDODONTIQUE DE MONTREAL, MONT-ROYAL.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Alvaro 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 Alvaro for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Alvaro 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 (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Alvaro's specific recommendation.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE ENDODONTIQUE DE MONTREAL, MONT-ROYAL.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Alvaro is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Alvaro at CENTRE ENDODONTIQUE DE MONTREAL, MONT-ROYAL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Alvaro and the team at CENTRE ENDODONTIQUE DE MONTREAL, MONT-ROYAL will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Alvaro will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Alvaro promptly.
