At Clinique Dentaire Disraeli, 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 Breton frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Breton expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, means they can happily and comfortably get back to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• If experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth has unfortunately put attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Breton works closely with patients towards attaining a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr Breton's comprehensive care for their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider is meticulously designed to result in their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet without dental worries.
• At Dr Breton's clinic, addressing feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time means focusing on patient goals. Achieving a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Breton 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).

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

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Disraeli directly to arrange their visit with Dr Breton.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr Breton are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr Breton may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Breton 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). Follow Dr Breton's specific recommendation.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. Dr Breton can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Breton can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Breton at Clinique Dentaire Disraeli?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 Breton will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
