At CRISTIANO DENTAIRE, 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 Cristiano frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile, Dr Cristiano's approach is focused on delivering achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine with a healthier smile.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention with Dr Cristiano'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 maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects once more.
• A key objective when treating having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard at Dr Cristiano's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Patients presenting with feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health under Dr Cristiano's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Cristiano will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Cristiano's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance plan (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CRISTIANO DENTAIRE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Cristiano at CRISTIANO DENTAIRE?

Your first visit with Dr Cristiano 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 Cristiano will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Cristiano 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).

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Cristiano offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Cristiano focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.
