At CENTRE DENTAIRE MAWLAWI INC., 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 Kano frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr Kano offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Kano with concerns about feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, making a positive and lasting return to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Kano and the dental team. The clear aim is always their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• The journey from one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly to wellness often involves Dr Kano's dedicated care. The milestone is successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE MAWLAWI INC. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Kano.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kano at CENTRE DENTAIRE MAWLAWI INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Kano and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE MAWLAWI INC. 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 Kano will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. 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 DENTAIRE MAWLAWI INC.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Kano will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Kano's specific recommendations.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Kano 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).
