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

A General Dentist like Dr. Levy 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, dentures), 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. Dr. Levy also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and refers 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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Levy 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 Levy at CENTRE DENTAIRE DR LEVY?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Levy and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE DR LEVY 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. Levy 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 Levy?

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Levy will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Levy's specific recommendation.

What is CENTRE DENTAIRE DR LEVY's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 48 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Levy. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before treatment.
