At CENTRE DENTAIRE PARIS LOFT, 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 Pasoff frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Pasoff and the dental team. The clear aim is always their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Are you struggling with needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain? Dr Pasoff partners with patients to target their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post a much more achievable reality.
• When a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Pasoff helps patients strive for receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This makes participating in activities such as no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr Pasoff understands that dealing with a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, helping patients comfortably get back to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and feeling their best.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Pasoff 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE PARIS LOFT directly to arrange their visit with Dr Pasoff.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Pasoff will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Pasoff's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Pasoff 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 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.
