At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC., 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 Boyer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr Boyer outlines a path to their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.
• Effectively addressing simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning with Dr Boyer's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of 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), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and social interactions.
• If their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Boyer develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Boyer to see patients who were troubled by a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment successfully achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Boyer 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boyer at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-SAUVEUR INC.?

Your first visit with Dr Boyer 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 Boyer 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 Boyer typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Boyer 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Boyer 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). Following Dr Boyer's specific recommendation is essential.

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

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

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 Boyer can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Boyer can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
