At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE REINHARDT, THIBERT & ASSOCIÉS, 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 Dion frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is a common journey for patients under Dr Dion's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine become straightforward again.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces, involves working systematically towards receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. Dr Dion expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Dion about ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem is to attain experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Effectively addressing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals with Dr Dion's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums and social interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Dion, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dion 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 may also offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr Dion also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Dion will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. Always follow Dr Dion's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 also used. 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 Dion 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dion at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE REINHARDT, THIBERT & ASSOCIÉS?

Your first visit with Dr Dion 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 Dion will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE REINHARDT, THIBERT & ASSOCIÉS's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE REINHARDT, THIBERT & ASSOCIÉS’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (450) 923-8200. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Dion or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Brossard area.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE REINHARDT, THIBERT & ASSOCIÉS.
