• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is a common journey for patients under Dr Martin's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities become straightforward again.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for 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) at Dr Martin's practice is consistently achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Martin to see patients who were troubled by a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods successfully achieve their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• With Dr Martin's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close is focused on achieving their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance without dental concerns.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Martin 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 Martin?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre dentaire et d'implantologie Dr. Guylaine Martin directly to arrange their visit with Dr Martin.

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 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 strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance before starting treatment at Centre dentaire et d'implantologie Dr. Guylaine Martin.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Martin at Centre dentaire et d'implantologie Dr. Guylaine Martin?

Your first visit with Dr Martin 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 Martin 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.

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

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