At CENTRE DENTAIRE JENNIFER TARDIF ET 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 Lévesque frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Lévesque about a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively is to attain feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• Dr Lévesque understands that dealing with wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, helping patients comfortably get back to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care and feeling their best.
• Through Dr Lévesque's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) often find they can readily achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• Patients presenting with a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming under Dr Lévesque's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lévesque 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Lévesque for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE JENNIFER TARDIF ET ASSOCIÉS.

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 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, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE JENNIFER TARDIF ET ASSOCIÉS.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lévesque will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr Lévesque's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lévesque at CENTRE DENTAIRE JENNIFER TARDIF ET ASSOCIÉS?

At your first appointment, Dr Lévesque and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Lévesque will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lévesque will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacing missing teeth with crowns, bridges, or dentures. Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good overall health. Dr Lévesque can perform a comprehensive assessment (including X-rays or 3D imaging) to determine your suitability. Dr Lévesque offers implant consultations and services.
