At HERITAGE DENTAL CLINIC, 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 Apreutesei frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered at Dr Apreutesei's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection, Dr Apreutesei offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• When patients discuss a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal, Dr Apreutesei outlines a path to a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• Are you struggling with having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard? Dr Apreutesei partners with patients to target their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems a much more achievable reality.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Apreutesei is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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). Dr Apreutesei also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment at HERITAGE DENTAL CLINIC.

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 check for decay). Dr Apreutesei determines the frequency based on individual oral health, adhering to ALARA guidelines.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact HERITAGE DENTAL CLINIC directly to arrange their visit with Dr Apreutesei.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Apreutesei will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs and risk factors. Following Dr Apreutesei's specific recommendation is important.

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

Dr Apreutesei focuses on comprehensive general dentistry. While many restorative procedures have excellent aesthetic outcomes, for specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements or provide a referral to a specialist.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Apreutesei at HERITAGE DENTAL CLINIC?

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