At CENTRE DENTAIRE CARRÉ LEDUC TRUDEL 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 Bossé frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Bossé provides dedicated support for patients going through feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, always aiming for positive outcomes like experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• Managing a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Bossé and the dental team. The clear aim is always experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Bossé understands that dealing with their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity and feeling their best.
• For patients where a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is a primary concern, Dr Bossé focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Bossé 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).

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

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

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

Dr Bossé 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 from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Bossé. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Bossé identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE CARRÉ LEDUC TRUDEL INC.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bossé at CENTRE DENTAIRE CARRÉ LEDUC TRUDEL INC?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 Bossé will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Bossé is the primary dental care provider, offering 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). They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Bossé will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Bossé's specific recommendation.
