At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BROMONT INC, 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 Giguère frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach at Dr Giguère's practice is consistently achieving their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• Dr Giguère provides dedicated support for patients going through their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), always aiming for positive outcomes like their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• A key objective when treating a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider at Dr Giguère's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, involves working systematically towards their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. Dr Giguère expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Giguère, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Giguère 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 Giguère for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Giguère will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Giguère's specific recommendations.

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BROMONT INC offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Giguère will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Giguère at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BROMONT INC?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive 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 Giguère will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Giguère provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private insurance, or government programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors). Verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BROMONT INC.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BROMONT INC's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, abscess, broken tooth), call our main office number at (450) 534-4047.
