At Clinique dentaire Vaudreuil, 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 Salvati frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects or causing discomfort, Dr Salvati 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.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Salvati to see patients who were troubled by a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods successfully achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• When a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances, Dr Salvati and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The journey from wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development to wellness often involves Dr Salvati's dedicated care. The milestone is their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits, which opens the door back to activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Salvati at Clinique dentaire Vaudreuil?

At your initial appointment, Dr Salvati and the team at Clinique dentaire Vaudreuil 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 Salvati will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Dr Salvati 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.

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 Salvati 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Vaudreuil directly to arrange their visit with Dr Salvati.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Salvati 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 need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Salvati's specific recommendation is key.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Salvati can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Salvati can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Salvati is the primary dental care provider, offering 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.
