At LA CLINIQUE RUE ROY, 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 McCabe frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is a common journey for patients under Dr McCabe's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them become straightforward again.
• For patients where an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options is a primary concern, Dr McCabe focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr McCabe when they first notice wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, enabling them to once again enjoy confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures without hesitation.
• At Dr McCabe's clinic, addressing wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development means focusing on patient goals. Achieving feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr McCabe will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (such as cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr McCabe's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr McCabe at LA CLINIQUE RUE ROY?

Your first visit with Dr McCabe 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 McCabe 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact LA CLINIQUE RUE ROY directly to arrange their visit with Dr McCabe.

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 McCabe are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr McCabe 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 Quebec, 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 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, social assistance recipients). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at LA CLINIQUE RUE ROY.

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

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

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