At Clinique dentaire la Cité, 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 Salodini frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr Salodini provides solutions that lead to their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• A key objective when treating a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation at Dr Salodini's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, involves working systematically towards their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. Dr Salodini expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• For patients where a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is a primary concern, Dr Salodini focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.

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

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

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 Salodini 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 Salodini?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Salodini for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire la Cité.

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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire la Cité.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Salodini 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Salodini's specific recommendations.
