At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR 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 Allaire frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- Dr Allaire often consults with patients whose experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow significantly limits their enjoyment of easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
- For those affected by having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard, Dr Allaire provides solutions that lead to their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
- Are you struggling with their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening? Dr Allaire partners with patients to target their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health a much more achievable reality.
- Dr Allaire understands that dealing with their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and feeling their best.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Allaire, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Allaire is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Allaire at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC.?
- Your first visit with Dr Allaire will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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 Allaire will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
- 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 foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Allaire can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Allaire can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Allaire typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Allaire 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). Dr Allaire also educates on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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. 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 Allaire 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 Allaire for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Allaire will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr Allaire's specific recommendation is crucial.

- 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. 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. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
