At CHUL Dept Med Dentaire, 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 Yoon frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, Dr Yoon provides solutions that lead to their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Patients presenting with simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue under Dr Yoon's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance without the former limitations or discomfort.
• A key objective when treating a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable at Dr Yoon's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Yoon when they first notice experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, enabling them to once again enjoy their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Yoon, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr Yoon 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 through 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 CHUL Dept Med Dentaire.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Yoon is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Yoon at CHUL Dept Med Dentaire?

Your first visit with Dr Yoon 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 Yoon will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Yoon 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 Yoon for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Yoon 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, while others might have slightly longer intervals). Following Dr Yoon's specific recommendation is essential.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Yoon promptly.
