• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Mui when they first notice their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, enabling them to once again enjoy concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort without hesitation.
• When their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness, Dr Mui and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Patients experiencing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Mui's practice, a key objective is their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.

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

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

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Mui 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mui at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LÉVEILLÉ?

Your first visit with Dr Mui 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 Mui 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.

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 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. 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LÉVEILLÉ.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Mui 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Mui will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Mui's specific recommendation is essential.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr Mui are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr Mui may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.
