At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL GAUTHIER, 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 Prévost-Labre frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A key objective when treating noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity at Dr Prévost-Labre's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• With Dr Prévost-Labre's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is focused on achieving the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without dental concerns.
• Through Dr Prévost-Labre's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches often find they can readily achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• Dr Prévost-Labre's comprehensive care for feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals is meticulously designed to result in their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them without dental worries.

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

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

For most patients, we generally recommend check-ups and cleanings every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Prévost-Labre will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Prévost-Labre's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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 or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
