At CENTRE DENTAIRE NOTRE DAME, 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 Limniatis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Limniatis with concerns about their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, making a positive and lasting return to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Effectively addressing a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident with Dr Limniatis's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance and social interactions.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence with Dr Limniatis's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems once more.
• Managing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Limniatis and the dental team. The clear aim is always a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Limniatis, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Limniatis is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, 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 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE NOTRE DAME.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Limniatis 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 are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Limniatis can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Limniatis can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

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

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Limniatis are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Limniatis at CENTRE DENTAIRE NOTRE DAME?

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

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

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

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Limniatis will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Limniatis's specific recommendation.
