At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DENTWEST, 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 Landry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth at Dr Landry's welcoming dental clinic is achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Dr Landry provides dedicated support for patients going through a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile, always aiming for positive outcomes like achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• Understanding the frustration their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation can cause, Dr Landry tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, allowing for renewed participation in activities like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Landry when they first notice feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, enabling them to once again enjoy their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Landry, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Landry is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DENTWEST directly to arrange their visit with Dr Landry.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Landry at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DENTWEST?

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

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Landry offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Landry focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Landry 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 appointments. It is important to follow Dr Landry's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 to further minimize 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 Landry 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 payment options are available at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DENTWEST for dental services?

Payment is typically due at the time services are provided. CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DENTWEST accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. We are also experienced in handling claims for most private dental insurance plans. For details on payment plans for larger treatments, please speak with our administrative staff.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Landry 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include some cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients 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 Quebec, 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 (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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 DENTWEST.
