At CHIRURGIE BUCCALE NATIX, 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 Albilia frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Albilia provides dedicated support for patients going through needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, always aiming for positive outcomes like having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Managing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Albilia and the dental team. The clear aim is always receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Albilia's comprehensive care for their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is meticulously designed to result in experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without dental worries.
• If their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr Albilia offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Albilia, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Albilia 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. 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 may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CHIRURGIE BUCCALE NATIX.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Albilia 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 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. It is essential to follow Dr Albilia's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 also used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Albilia 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 Albilia at CHIRURGIE BUCCALE NATIX?

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

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

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