• The journey from their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing to wellness often involves Dr Boisvert's dedicated care. The milestone is their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Boisvert will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr Boisvert's specific recommendations is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are a very safe diagnostic tool, especially with modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used to 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 Boisvert will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boisvert at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Boisvert and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR 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 Boisvert will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Boisvert 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and potentially cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong and stable foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good overall health. Dr Boisvert can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to determine your suitability for dental implants. Dr Boisvert can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
