• Dr Capcelea's comprehensive care for their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is meticulously designed to result in their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Capcelea at CENTRE DENTAIRE DU HAUT-ANJOU?

At your initial appointment, Dr Capcelea and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE DU HAUT-ANJOU 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 Capcelea will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 Capcelea 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 are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Capcelea. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CENTRE DENTAIRE DU HAUT-ANJOU. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Capcelea might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Capcelea is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE DU HAUT-ANJOU.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr Capcelea will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr Capcelea's specific recommendation.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr Capcelea is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr Capcelea identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.
