At CENTRE DENTAIRE BOISBRIAND, 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 Provencher frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional, Dr Provencher provides solutions that lead to receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• Dr Provencher's comprehensive care for needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury is meticulously designed to result in their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them without dental worries.
• Patients experiencing their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Provencher's practice, a key objective is their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Provencher to see patients who were troubled by their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth successfully achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Provencher at CENTRE DENTAIRE BOISBRIAND?

Your first visit with Dr Provencher 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 Provencher 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 Quebec, provincial health plans like the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do <b>not</b> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 DENTAIRE BOISBRIAND.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Provencher will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Provencher's specific recommendations.

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 exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Provencher 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).

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

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