• Many people seek Dr Sarlabous's professional help and expertise when dealing with a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Sarlabous about a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is to attain their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• Patients presenting with recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved under Dr Sarlabous's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care without the former limitations or discomfort.

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Maxillo Québec.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sarlabous will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Sarlabous's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Sarlabous is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures (such as teeth whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Sarlabous 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 Sarlabous at Maxillo Québec?

Your first visit with Dr Sarlabous 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 Sarlabous will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
