Success is marked by feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) has unfortunately put confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Plante-Grandbois works closely with patients towards attaining their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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).

A General Dentist like Dr Plante-Grandbois is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Always check the details of your private dental insurance or verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.

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