At Dr Roxane Katiya, 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 Katiya frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth with Dr Katiya's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life and social interactions.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them at Dr Katiya's practice is consistently achieving their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• With Dr Katiya's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is focused on achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth without dental concerns.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities with Dr Katiya's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort once more.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Katiya 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 whitening or bonding. Dr Katiya also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Katiya at Dr Roxane Katiya?

At your initial appointment, Dr Katiya and the team at Dr Roxane Katiya 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 Katiya will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Katiya 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 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 might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Dr Roxane Katiya.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dr Roxane Katiya directly to arrange their visit with Dr Katiya.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Katiya will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Katiya's specific recommendation is essential.
