At CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU, 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 Overy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is a common journey for patients under Dr Overy's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, so that daily routines and pleasures like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought become straightforward again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow, Dr Overy offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• Patients presenting with their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment under Dr Overy's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Effectively addressing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them with Dr Overy's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance and social interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Overy, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Overy is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Overy 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 Overy for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Overy 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 (e.g., those 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 Overy's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Overy at CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU?

At your initial appointment, Dr Overy and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU 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 Overy will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Overy 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 also include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Overy for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU.

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 advised to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU.
