At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-HUBERT, 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 Caron-Chartier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is preventing you from fully enjoying concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort or causing discomfort, Dr Caron-Chartier offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations, Dr Caron-Chartier and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Caron-Chartier develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• For patients where a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is a primary concern, Dr Caron-Chartier focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Caron-Chartier?

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Caron-Chartier will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, 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 crucial to follow Dr Caron-Chartier's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Caron-Chartier at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-HUBERT?

Your first visit with Dr Caron-Chartier 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 Caron-Chartier 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 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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-HUBERT.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Caron-Chartier 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).
