• 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 having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities under Dr Epure's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures without the former limitations or discomfort.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Epure about wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant is to attain the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity.

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Epure to see patients who were troubled by their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation successfully achieve their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals at Dr Epure's practice is consistently achieving receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Epure at EXPERTDENT CENTRES DENTAIRES ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE?

Your first visit with Dr Epure 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 Epure 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.

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. 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 strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at EXPERTDENT CENTRES DENTAIRES ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE.

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

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

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 Epure 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Epure for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with EXPERTDENT CENTRES DENTAIRES ET D'IMPLANTOLOGIE.
