At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LENA, 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 Papageorgakopoulos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence, Dr Papageorgakopoulos's approach is focused on delivering experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth with a healthier smile.
• Managing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Papageorgakopoulos and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching with Dr Papageorgakopoulos's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children once more.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal, Dr Papageorgakopoulos offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Papageorgakopoulos will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Papageorgakopoulos's specific recommendation.

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 for the general population. 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 employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LENA.

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

Dental X-rays are very 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 check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Papageorgakopoulos will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Papageorgakopoulos at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR LENA?

At your first appointment, Dr Papageorgakopoulos and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Papageorgakopoulos will then explain their assessment and recommend treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
