At PROSTHODONTIE RIVE-SUD, 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 L'Homme-Langlois frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially, Dr L'Homme-Langlois provides solutions that lead to their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• Dr L'Homme-Langlois often consults with patients whose feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth significantly limits their enjoyment of their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Effectively addressing their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention with Dr L'Homme-Langlois's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence and social interactions.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation at Dr L'Homme-Langlois's practice is consistently achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr L'Homme-Langlois, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr L'Homme-Langlois is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr L'Homme-Langlois for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr L'Homme-Langlois 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 might need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr L'Homme-Langlois's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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 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 government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at PROSTHODONTIE RIVE-SUD.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr L'Homme-Langlois at PROSTHODONTIE RIVE-SUD?

Your first visit with Dr L'Homme-Langlois 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 L'Homme-Langlois 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.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr L'Homme-Langlois 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 L'Homme-Langlois?

Typically, no referral is required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact PROSTHODONTIE RIVE-SUD directly to arrange their visit with Dr L'Homme-Langlois.
