At Université de MTL - Faculté médecine dentaire, 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 Garshin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation, Dr Garshin offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• When concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard, Dr Garshin and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Dr Garshin understands that dealing with feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, helping patients comfortably get back to their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues and feeling their best.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Garshin 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 dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, making a positive and lasting return to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Garshin will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Garshin's specific recommendations.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, maximums) before treatment at Université de MTL - Faculté médecine dentaire.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Garshin is your primary dental care provider. Services 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (whitening, bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex cases.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Garshin at Université de MTL - Faculté médecine dentaire?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr Garshin will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Garshin will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No referral is typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Université de MTL - Faculté médecine dentaire directly to arrange your visit with Dr Garshin.
