• If experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple has unfortunately put playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Arseneau works closely with patients towards attaining their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr Arseneau understands that dealing with 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) can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects and feeling their best.
• The journey from a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own to wellness often involves Dr Arseneau's dedicated care.

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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Centre Dentaire Arseneau et Léger.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Arseneau 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 Arseneau?

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Arseneau at Centre Dentaire Arseneau et Léger?

Your first visit with Dr Arseneau 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 Arseneau 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.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Arseneau offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Arseneau focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Arseneau 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Arseneau will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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's important to follow Dr Arseneau's specific recommendation.
