At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ROMPRÉ MARTEL, 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 Martel frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Martel when they first notice an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction, enabling them to once again enjoy actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern without hesitation.
• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Martel develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Dr Martel understands that dealing with wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, helping patients comfortably get back to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance and feeling their best.
• When patients discuss needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, Dr Martel outlines a path to the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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

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 always 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 Martel 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 Martel for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Martel 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). Following Dr Martel's specific recommendation is crucial.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Martel at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ROMPRÉ MARTEL?

Your first visit with Dr Martel 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 Martel 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.

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

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

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ROMPRÉ MARTEL.
