At CENTRE DENTAIRE STEVANOVIC, 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 Stevanovic frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile under Dr Stevanovic's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Managing wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Stevanovic and the dental team. The clear aim is always the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Stevanovic provides dedicated support for patients going through their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence, always aiming for positive outcomes like their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• The journey from a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own to wellness often involves Dr Stevanovic's dedicated care. The milestone is their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, which opens the door back to activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Stevanovic, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Stevanovic 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 from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Stevanovic. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Stevanovic identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Stevanovic 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing active gum disease or high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Stevanovic's specific recommendation.

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 Stevanovic 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 Stevanovic at CENTRE DENTAIRE STEVANOVIC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Stevanovic and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE STEVANOVIC 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 Stevanovic will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Stevanovic is the primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services: 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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