Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Versailles in Boisbriand
- 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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE LAPOINTE.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Versailles typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Versailles 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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 Versailles 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).
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Versailles for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Versailles will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's crucial to follow Dr Versailles's specific recommendation.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Versailles at CENTRE DENTAIRE LAPOINTE?
- Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination.

A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Versailles?
