At CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUSÉJOUR, 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 Turcotte frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Turcotte expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Understanding the frustration a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident can cause, Dr Turcotte tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• Patients experiencing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Turcotte's practice, a key objective is feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Managing their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Turcotte and the dental team. The clear aim is always finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Turcotte 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 might need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Turcotte'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 for the general population. Some specific, 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, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUSÉJOUR.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Turcotte at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUSÉJOUR?

At your initial appointment, Dr Turcotte and the team at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUSÉJOUR 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 Turcotte will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUSÉJOUR directly to arrange their visit with Dr Turcotte.

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 also 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 Turcotte 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).
