At Alpha Brossard 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 Fan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, involves working systematically towards gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. Dr Fan expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• Managing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Fan and the dental team. The clear aim is always achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients presenting with a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies under Dr Fan's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr Fan's comprehensive care for looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults is meticulously designed to result in their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth without dental worries.

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

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> 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., children from low-income families, 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Alpha Brossard clinique dentaire.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Fan at Alpha Brossard clinique dentaire?

At your initial appointment, Dr Fan and the team at Alpha Brossard clinique dentaire 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 Fan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 Fan 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Fan for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Alpha Brossard clinique dentaire.

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

Dr Fan 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Fan 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
