At Alain Brault Orthodontiste Inc., 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 Brault frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Brault about feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning is to attain their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• If a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Brault develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• Dr Brault expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, means they can happily and comfortably get back to easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Understanding the frustration a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively can cause, Dr Brault tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, allowing for renewed participation in activities like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brault at Alain Brault Orthodontiste Inc.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Brault and the team at Alain Brault Orthodontiste Inc. 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 Brault will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Alain Brault Orthodontiste Inc. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Brault.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Brault 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 Brault for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Brault 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 is important to follow Dr Brault's specific recommendation.

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 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 important to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Alain Brault Orthodontiste Inc.
