At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PLACE VICTORIA, 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 Urzedowski frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding, Dr Urzedowski's approach is focused on delivering their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues with a healthier smile.
• For patients where feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is a primary concern, Dr Urzedowski focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits with Dr Urzedowski's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped once more.

This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Urzedowski at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PLACE VICTORIA?

At your initial appointment, Dr Urzedowski and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PLACE VICTORIA 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 Urzedowski will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PLACE VICTORIA.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Urzedowski 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Urzedowski 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It's essential to follow Dr Urzedowski's specific recommendations.

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 during the procedure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Urzedowski 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 Urzedowski?

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PLACE VICTORIA directly to arrange a visit with Dr Urzedowski.
