At Carrefour dentaire de Montréal, 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 Ouzerourou frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer has unfortunately put feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Ouzerourou works closely with patients towards attaining a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

• The journey from a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns to wellness often involves Dr Ouzerourou's dedicated care. The milestone is their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, which opens the door back to activities such as biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• With Dr Ouzerourou's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth is focused on achieving no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ouzerourou at Carrefour dentaire de Montréal?

Your first visit with Dr Ouzerourou 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 Ouzerourou 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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Ouzerourou 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Carrefour dentaire de Montréal directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ouzerourou.

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 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 essential 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 Carrefour dentaire de Montréal.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Ouzerourou 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. Following Dr Ouzerourou's specific recommendation is crucial.
