• For individuals troubled by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr Lemieux's approach is focused on delivering their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again.

• Dr Lemieux often consults with patients whose a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them significantly limits their enjoyment of their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients presenting with experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity under Dr Lemieux's experienced care.

What payment options are available at Clinique d'Orthodontie Monkland for dental services?

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Clinique d'Orthodontie Monkland.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lemieux 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lemieux at Clinique d'Orthodontie Monkland?

At your initial appointment, Dr Lemieux and the team at Clinique d'Orthodontie Monkland will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Lemieux will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lemieux will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Always follow Dr Lemieux's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lemieux 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique d'Orthodontie Monkland directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lemieux.
