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

A General Dentist like Dr Crisan is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, and bridges. Dr Crisan also performs basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and provides initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Furthermore, Dr Crisan educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE ST-ROCH.

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

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

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Crisan 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 Crisan for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Crisan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits). Always follow Dr Crisan's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Crisan at CENTRE DENTAIRE ST-ROCH?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 Crisan will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent one.
