What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beaumont at Clinique Dentaire Beaumont, Michaud et Associés?

Your first visit with Dr Beaumont 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 Beaumont 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 Beaumont typically provide?

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Beaumont 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Beaumont's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is essential to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 or removable replacement teeth. Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr Beaumont can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Beaumont can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Beaumont offer any sedation options?

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 Beaumont will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Beaumont for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire Beaumont, Michaud et Associés.
