At Clentre LaserDent, 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 Ayotte frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Ayotte with concerns about their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and 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), making a positive and lasting return to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Ayotte when they first notice a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, enabling them to once again enjoy being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without hesitation.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Ayotte about wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation is to attain achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• When needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health, Dr Ayotte and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Clentre LaserDent’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (450) 449-6333.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ayotte at Clentre LaserDent?

At your initial appointment, Dr Ayotte and the team at Clentre LaserDent 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 Ayotte 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 Ayotte typically provide?

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

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 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. 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Clentre LaserDent.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr Ayotte 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Ayotte's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clentre LaserDent directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ayotte.

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 Ayotte 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).
