At Centre dentaire Rivière Nord, 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 Romanous frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Romanous expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• Dr Romanous's comprehensive care for a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is meticulously designed to result in being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth without dental worries.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Romanous about a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is to attain their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Through Dr Romanous's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming often find they can readily achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Romanous 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). Dr Romanous also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Romanous 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Romanous's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Romanous at Centre dentaire Rivière Nord?

Your first visit with Dr Romanous 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 Romanous will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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. 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. Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact Centre dentaire Rivière Nord directly to arrange their visit with Dr Romanous.

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. Dr Romanous will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

Does Centre dentaire Rivière Nord offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.
