At CENTRE DENTAIRE NUVOSMILE TERREBONNE, 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 Rozakis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Rozakis's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment is focused on achieving experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without dental concerns.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth at Dr Rozakis's practice is consistently achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.
• Dr Rozakis often consults with patients whose a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients significantly limits their enjoyment of their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Understanding the frustration a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing can cause, Dr Rozakis tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Rozakis 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 offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or your insurance plan, to have a referral from your general dentist like Dr Rozakis. A referral ensures the specialist has the relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Rozakis identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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 (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rozakis at CENTRE DENTAIRE NUVOSMILE TERREBONNE?

At your first visit, expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Dr Rozakis may take digital X-rays. They will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. You can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE NUVOSMILE TERREBONNE directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Rozakis.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health). Dr Rozakis will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rozakis will personalize this schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Rozakis's specific recommendation.
