At CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DI BATTISTA, 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 Battista frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Battista provides dedicated support for patients going through concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches, always aiming for positive outcomes like their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, Dr Battista offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is preventing you from fully enjoying their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr Battista offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion, Dr Battista and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DI BATTISTA directly to arrange their visit with Dr Battista.

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 CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DI BATTISTA.

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

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Battista. 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 ORTHODONTIQUE DI BATTISTA. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Battista might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Battista offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Battista focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Battista at CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DI BATTISTA?

Your first visit with Dr Battista 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 Battista 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Battista 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Battista will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr Battista's specific recommendation is essential.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Battista 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).
