At MAXILLO MONTÉRÉGIE, 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 Battista frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health under Dr Battista's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is a common journey for patients under Dr Battista's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions become straightforward again.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Battista when they first notice a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without hesitation.
• If an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options has unfortunately put waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Battista works closely with patients towards attaining the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact MAXILLO MONTÉRÉGIE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Battista.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Battista will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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 visits. Following Dr Battista's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Battista 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).

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. 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at MAXILLO MONTÉRÉGIE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Battista at MAXILLO MONTÉRÉGIE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Battista and the team at MAXILLO MONTÉRÉGIE 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 Battista will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
