At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PAUL STAMBOULIS ET ASSOCIÉS, 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 Stamboulis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Stamboulis understands that dealing with their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, helping patients comfortably get back to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard and feeling their best.
• Are you struggling with feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time? Dr Stamboulis partners with patients to target their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends a much more achievable reality.
• With Dr Stamboulis's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is focused on achieving their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions without dental concerns.
• For those affected by a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment, Dr Stamboulis provides solutions that lead to feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PAUL STAMBOULIS ET ASSOCIÉS directly to arrange their visit with Dr Stamboulis.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Stamboulis at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PAUL STAMBOULIS ET ASSOCIÉS?

Your first visit with Dr Stamboulis will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Stamboulis will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Stamboulis 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).

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 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 through 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 before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PAUL STAMBOULIS ET ASSOCIÉS.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Stamboulis 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, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Stamboulis's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Stamboulis is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer 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 provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
