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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Chiasson will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Chiasson's specific recommendations.

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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE MAXILLOIMPLANTO.

What is CLINIQUE MAXILLOIMPLANTO's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 48 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Chiasson. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of between $50 and $100. Please contact the clinic for specific fee details. We appreciate your cooperation.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Chiasson will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Chiasson provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Chiasson at CLINIQUE MAXILLOIMPLANTO?

At your first appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental concerns and goals, a detailed oral examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Chiasson will then explain their assessment and recommend treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
