At Éclipse Dentisterie, 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 Gariépy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Gariépy develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• If a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture is preventing you from fully enjoying smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness or causing discomfort, Dr Gariépy offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Through Dr Gariépy's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment often find they can readily achieve having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal with Dr Gariépy's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Gariépy offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Gariépy focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Gariépy 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 if offered). Dr Gariépy also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Gariépy at Éclipse Dentisterie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Gariépy and the team at Éclipse Dentisterie 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 Gariépy will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Gariépy 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 need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Gariépy's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

What is Éclipse Dentisterie's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Gariépy. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without any notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us manage our schedule efficiently.

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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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