At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GIRARD ET SIMONEAU, 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 Simoneau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about, Dr Simoneau offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Dr Simoneau understands that dealing with having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, helping patients comfortably get back to their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life and feeling their best.
• If looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Simoneau develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr Simoneau often consults with patients whose their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence significantly limits their enjoyment of experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Simoneau, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Simoneau at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GIRARD ET SIMONEAU?

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Simoneau will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Simoneau'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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Simoneau 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).

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 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 recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and check the details of their private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GIRARD ET SIMONEAU.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GIRARD ET SIMONEAU directly to arrange their visit with Dr Simoneau.
