• For those affected by a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr Bourdeau provides solutions that lead to their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth.

• When a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity, Dr Bourdeau and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth or causing discomfort, Dr Bourdeau offers expert dental solutions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Bourdeau for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE D'IMPLANTOLOGIE DENTAIRE DES MOULINS.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Bourdeau 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 Bourdeau typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Bourdeau 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.

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 your coverage and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE D'IMPLANTOLOGIE DENTAIRE DES MOULINS.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Bourdeau will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Bourdeau's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bourdeau at CENTRE D'IMPLANTOLOGIE DENTAIRE DES MOULINS?

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