• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation with Dr Neveu's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

• Patients frequently come to Dr Neveu with concerns about a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems.

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

Dr Neveu 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE DUBÉ ET POIRIER directly to arrange their visit with Dr Neveu.

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

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

What is CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE DUBÉ ET POIRIER's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Neveu. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than the requested notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50-$100. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Neveu 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), while others may be able to have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is important to follow Dr Neveu's specific recommendation.

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. 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 Neveu 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Neveu at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE DUBÉ ET POIRIER?

Your first visit with Dr Neveu 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 Neveu 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.

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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
