At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MEUNIER AHMARANIAN, 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 Meunier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed? Dr Meunier partners with patients to target the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding a much more achievable reality.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Meunier when they first notice their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral). Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, enabling them to once again enjoy their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without hesitation.
• If a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Meunier develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• If their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening has unfortunately put their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Meunier works closely with patients towards attaining their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Meunier, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Meunier is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Meunier 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 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. 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MEUNIER AHMARANIAN.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Meunier will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Meunier's specific recommendation.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Meunier at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MEUNIER AHMARANIAN?

At your initial appointment, Dr Meunier and the team 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. Based on this, Dr Meunier will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
