At CENTRE DENTAIRE VINCENT ET LAPOINTE, 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 Vincent frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Vincent with concerns about experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Patients presenting with a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered can find lasting relief and achieve the important 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) under Dr Vincent's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Effectively addressing noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity with Dr Vincent's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments and social interactions.

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

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Vincent typically provide?

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Vincent will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Vincent's specific recommendation is crucial.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Vincent at CENTRE DENTAIRE VINCENT ET LAPOINTE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Vincent and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE VINCENT ET LAPOINTE 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 Vincent will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 or through private dental insurance. Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE VINCENT ET LAPOINTE.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary. Dr Vincent will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
