At ENDODONTIE RIVE SUD, 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 Kozloff frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post, Dr Kozloff and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Understanding the frustration an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing can cause, Dr Kozloff tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, allowing for renewed participation in activities like confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment, Dr Kozloff offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Patients experiencing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Kozloff's practice, a key objective is experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Kozloff 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 essential to follow Dr Kozloff's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 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's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 ENDODONTIE RIVE SUD.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Kozloff 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 Kozloff at ENDODONTIE RIVE SUD?

At your initial appointment, Dr Kozloff and the team at ENDODONTIE RIVE SUD 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 Kozloff 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 Kozloff?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ENDODONTIE RIVE SUD directly to arrange their visit with Dr Kozloff.

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