At Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic, 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. Savoie frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly, involves working systematically towards the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. Dr. Savoie expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
- Dr. Savoie provides dedicated support for patients going through a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns, always aiming for positive outcomes like the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
- If noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity has unfortunately put their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Savoie works closely with patients towards attaining their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
- Many people seek Dr. Savoie's professional help and expertise when dealing with a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.

- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Savoie at Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic?
- Your first visit with Dr. Savoie 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. Savoie 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. Savoie offer to improve the appearance of my smile?
- Dr. Savoie 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.
- 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. 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. Savoie 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).
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In ON, provincial health plans (like OHIP) 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique Dentaire Casselman Dental Clinic.

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Savoie may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Savoie for a check-up and cleaning?
- Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Savoie will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Savoie's specific recommendation.
