At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU SUROIT, 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 Nikolov frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Nikolov about their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care is to attain no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Overcoming or effectively managing needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury is a common journey for patients under Dr Nikolov's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, so that daily routines and pleasures like maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile become straightforward again.
• Dr Nikolov understands that dealing with a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos and feeling their best.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing at Dr Nikolov's practice is consistently achieving successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Nikolov will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Nikolov's specific recommendations.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or via government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU SUROIT.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nikolov at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU SUROIT?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening); and necessary X-rays. Dr Nikolov will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nikolov provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a general dentist like Dr Nikolov for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DU SUROIT.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Nikolov will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
