At CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUDOIN, 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 Beaudoin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Beaudoin to see patients who were troubled by their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth successfully achieve a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Patients presenting with noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots under Dr Beaudoin's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Beaudoin helps patients strive for their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This makes participating in activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For individuals troubled by a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, Dr Beaudoin's approach is focused on delivering their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet with a healthier smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Beaudoin, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Beaudoin 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 Beaudoin also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Beaudoin for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUDOIN.

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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups such as low-income families with children or seniors receiving specific benefits. It is strongly recommended that you check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and review the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUDOIN.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Beaudoin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others may have longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Beaudoin's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beaudoin at CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUDOIN?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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 Beaudoin will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

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

What is CENTRE DE SANTÉ DENTAIRE BEAUDOIN's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Beaudoin. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth (crowns, bridges, or dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good overall health. Dr Beaudoin can perform a comprehensive assessment, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Beaudoin can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.
