At CENTRE DENTAIRE RIVE-NORD, 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 Jean frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment under Dr Jean's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without the former limitations or discomfort.
• With Dr Jean's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is focused on achieving their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without dental concerns.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling, involves working systematically towards their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. Dr Jean expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• Understanding the frustration wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation can cause, Dr Jean tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, allowing for renewed participation in activities like being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Jean, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Jean 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 might 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE RIVE-NORD.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jean at CENTRE DENTAIRE RIVE-NORD?

Your first visit with Dr Jean 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 Jean 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.

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 any potential 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 Jean 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Jean 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., 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). It is important to follow Dr Jean's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE RIVE-NORD directly to arrange their visit with Dr Jean.
