At DR. MORRIS LONDON, 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 London frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr London's welcoming dental clinic is achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.
• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr London develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• Are you struggling with a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them? Dr London partners with patients to target transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures a much more achievable reality.
• Patients experiencing their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr London's practice, a key objective is gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr London at DR. MORRIS LONDON?

At your initial appointment, Dr London and the team at DR. MORRIS LONDON 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 London will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 provided by 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at DR. MORRIS LONDON.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr London 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 London's specific recommendations.
