• A key objective when treating a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces at Dr Corbeil's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Corbeil help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Corbeil can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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 and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LOCAS.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Corbeil will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Follow Dr Corbeil's specific recommendation.

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

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

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. Dr Corbeil 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Corbeil at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE LOCAS?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Corbeil will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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