At Clinique Dentaire Benoit Legault, 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 Legault frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider at Dr Legault's practice is consistently achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Dr Legault understands that dealing with wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, helping patients comfortably get back to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies and feeling their best.
• Understanding the frustration their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development can cause, Dr Legault tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Legault with concerns about experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, making a positive and lasting return to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Legault at Clinique Dentaire Benoit Legault?

Your first visit with Dr Legault 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 Legault will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Legault will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every three to four 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 visits. It is crucial to follow Dr Legault's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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. Some 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 government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before your treatment at Clinique Dentaire Benoit Legault.

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

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

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 radiation 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 Legault 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).
