At CENTRE DENTAIRE MARIE-JOSÉE STEWART, 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 Stewart frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Stewart about an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected is to attain their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• Patients presenting with an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite under Dr Stewart's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle without the former limitations or discomfort.
• At Dr Stewart's clinic, addressing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Effectively addressing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably with Dr Stewart's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care and social interactions.

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

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Stewart 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 Stewart at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARIE-JOSÉE STEWART?

Your first visit with Dr Stewart 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 Stewart 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.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARIE-JOSÉE STEWART.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Stewart will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Stewart's specific recommendation.
