At ExpertDent, 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 Lagrange frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Lagrange about their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to is to attain their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Lagrange to see patients who were troubled by concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly successfully achieve achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.
• Managing their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Lagrange and the dental team. The clear aim is always feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• The journey from waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding to wellness often involves Dr Lagrange's dedicated care. The milestone is their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, which opens the door back to activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lagrange at ExpertDent?

Your first visit with Dr Lagrange 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 Lagrange 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.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Lagrange 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).

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 the 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at ExpertDent.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Lagrange will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients 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. It's essential to follow Dr Lagrange's specific recommendation.
