At CENTRE DENTAIRE BOULEVARD GALERIES D'ANJOU, 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 L'Anglais frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage under Dr L'Anglais's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child participating happily in school photos and social activities without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When patients discuss noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity, Dr L'Anglais outlines a path to their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• If feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals has unfortunately put kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr L'Anglais works closely with patients towards attaining gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr L'Anglais develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr L'Anglais at CENTRE DENTAIRE BOULEVARD GALERIES D'ANJOU?

Your first visit with Dr L'Anglais 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 L'Anglais 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.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr L'Anglais typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr L'Anglais 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). Dr L'Anglais also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr L'Anglais can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr L'Anglais can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr L'Anglais 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 L'Anglais?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE BOULEVARD GALERIES D'ANJOU directly to arrange their visit with Dr L'Anglais.

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 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.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr L'Anglais 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). Follow Dr L'Anglais's specific recommendation.
