• Effectively addressing a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture with Dr Martel's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem and social interactions.
• Through Dr Martel's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow often find they can readily achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene, Dr Martel offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Dr Martel expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Martel is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Martel also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHAMBLY.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, like Dr Martel, is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Martel determines you need specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Always check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Martel at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHAMBLY?

Your first visit with Dr Martel will include a comprehensive dental examination. This involves reviewing 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 Martel will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

No, a referral is not typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHAMBLY directly to arrange your visit with Dr Martel.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Martel will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (for cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months if managing gum disease or at high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Martel's specific recommendations.

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

Dr Martel focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also improve aesthetics, if you have specific cosmetic concerns, Dr Martel can discuss basic aesthetic improvements or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist for more advanced treatments.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Martel will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
