At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LENNY SLEPCHIK D.D.S, 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 Slepchik frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Slepchik's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is focused on achieving feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without dental concerns.
• Managing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Slepchik and the dental team. The clear aim is always their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Effectively addressing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns with Dr Slepchik's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem and social interactions.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care is a common journey for patients under Dr Slepchik's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, so that daily routines and pleasures like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances become straightforward again.

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

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

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Slepchik are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Slepchik at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LENNY SLEPCHIK D.D.S?

At your initial appointment, Dr Slepchik and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LENNY SLEPCHIK D.D.S 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 Slepchik will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 Slepchik 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 Slepchik for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Slepchik 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 at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Slepchik'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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LENNY SLEPCHIK D.D.S.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Slepchik 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LENNY SLEPCHIK D.D.S directly to arrange their visit with Dr Slepchik.
