At PERIO MONTRÉAL, 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 Werbitt frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Werbitt's practice, a key objective is the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• With Dr Werbitt's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth is focused on achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures without dental concerns.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain, involves working systematically towards gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. Dr Werbitt expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• Understanding the frustration a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile can cause, Dr Werbitt tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, allowing for renewed participation in activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

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

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 by RAMQ. 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 always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at PERIO MONTRÉAL.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Werbitt is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). General Dentists also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Werbitt 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. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. Always follow Dr Werbitt's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Werbitt at PERIO MONTRÉAL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Werbitt and the team at PERIO MONTRÉAL 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 Werbitt will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Does PERIO MONTRÉAL offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Werbitt 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).
