At ECLIPSE DENTISTERIE, 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 Bélanger frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Bélanger's practice, a key objective is the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• If a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection has unfortunately put confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Bélanger works closely with patients towards attaining successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• If persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is preventing you from fully enjoying their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr Bélanger offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Bélanger about their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider is to attain their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Bélanger 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). Dr Bélanger also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ECLIPSE DENTISTERIE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Bélanger.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bélanger at ECLIPSE DENTISTERIE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Bélanger and the team at ECLIPSE DENTISTERIE 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 Bélanger 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 Bélanger 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Bélanger will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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). Follow Dr Bélanger'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 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check private dental insurance details before treatment.
