At Expertdent centres dentaires, 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 Ratté frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is a primary concern, Dr Ratté focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• If a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes or causing discomfort, Dr Ratté offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• A key objective when treating their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care at Dr Ratté's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• When patients discuss wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, Dr Ratté outlines a path to a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Ratté, 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 Ratté at Expertdent centres dentaires?

Your first visit with Dr Ratté 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 Ratté 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ratté is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Ratté also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists when necessary for more complex dental needs.

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, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr. Ratté will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months as part of preventative care. However, Dr. Ratté 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 risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr. Ratté's specific recommendations.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered under 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 individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Expertdent centres dentaires.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Ratté. Patients can contact Expertdent centres dentaires directly to arrange their visit.
