At CENTRE DENTAIRE FAMILIAL MASCOUCHE, 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 Goulet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking or causing discomfort, Dr Goulet offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr Goulet's comprehensive care for a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing is meticulously designed to result in experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without dental worries.
• Dr Goulet expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, means they can happily and comfortably get back to no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• For patients where a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is a primary concern, Dr Goulet focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.

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

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, 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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by 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 may 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE FAMILIAL MASCOUCHE.

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 exposure. 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 Goulet 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).

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Goulet at CENTRE DENTAIRE FAMILIAL MASCOUCHE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Goulet and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE FAMILIAL MASCOUCHE 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 Goulet 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 Goulet typically provide?
