At Hé Clinique dentaire, 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 Hébert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Hébert when they first notice simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, enabling them to once again enjoy their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits without hesitation.
• Dr Hébert understands that dealing with wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, helping patients comfortably get back to their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort and feeling their best.
• Patients presenting with their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options under Dr Hébert's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The journey from concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches to wellness often involves Dr Hébert's dedicated care. The milestone is their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.

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

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Hé Clinique dentaire.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Hébert 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 also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Hébert 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 Hébert's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Hé Clinique dentaire directly to arrange their visit with Dr Hébert.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Hébert 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 are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Hébert promptly.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hébert at Hé Clinique dentaire?

Your first visit with Dr Hébert 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 Hébert 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.
