At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTÉ ET 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:

• Dr Beaudoin often consults with patients whose a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Managing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Beaudoin and the dental team. The clear aim is always experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For those affected by their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably, Dr Beaudoin provides solutions that lead to their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• Through Dr Beaudoin's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing often find they can readily achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.

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. Dr Beaudoin is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

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

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Beaudoin 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTÉ ET BEAUDOIN directly to arrange their visit with Dr Beaudoin.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beaudoin at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTÉ ET BEAUDOIN?

Your first visit with Dr Beaudoin will typically 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 Beaudoin will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Beaudoin offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Beaudoin focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 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.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Beaudoin will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Beaudoin's specific recommendation.
