At Clinique dentaire Ville-Marie, 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 Beaulieu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Understanding the frustration concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches can cause, Dr Beaulieu tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, allowing for renewed participation in activities like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• If their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Beaulieu develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Patients experiencing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Beaulieu's practice, a key objective is their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.
• For patients where a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods is a primary concern, Dr Beaulieu focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.

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

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), or 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 the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Ville-Marie.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Beaulieu 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Beaulieu typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Beaulieu 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, 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 patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Beaulieu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk might need more frequent visits). Always follow Dr Beaulieu's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Beaulieu for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire Ville-Marie.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beaulieu at Clinique dentaire Ville-Marie?

Your first visit will 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 Beaulieu will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
