At UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL - CLINIQUE D'ORTHODONTIE, 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 Isabel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Isabel's clinic, addressing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed means focusing on patient goals. Achieving feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Dr Isabel understands that dealing with an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, helping patients comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped and feeling their best.
• Patients presenting with simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed under Dr Isabel's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication without the former limitations or discomfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Isabel to see patients who were troubled by wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances successfully achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr Isabel 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 are at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Isabel's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Isabel 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, and dental 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 such as 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 Isabel at UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL - CLINIQUE D'ORTHODONTIE?

Your first visit with Dr Isabel 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 Isabel will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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. 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 Isabel 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).

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. 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 UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL - CLINIQUE D'ORTHODONTIE.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Isabel for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL - CLINIQUE D'ORTHODONTIE.
