At your initial appointment, Dr Arti and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE PLAZA CÔTE-DES-NEIGES will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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 strongly advised to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
