At Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien, 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 Cuu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own has unfortunately put their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Cuu works closely with patients towards attaining feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr Cuu provides dedicated support for patients going through a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma, always aiming for positive outcomes like their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• A key objective when treating a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident at Dr Cuu's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• When patients discuss feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr Cuu outlines a path to receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien directly to arrange their visit with Dr Cuu.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Cuu 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 Cuu for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Cuu will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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 Cuu's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Cuu at Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien?

At your initial appointment, Dr Cuu and the team at Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien 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 to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Cuu will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Cuu typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Cuu 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 if offered). 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 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Clinique dentaire Beau & Bien’s hours (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, or broken tooth causing sharp pain), call our main office number at (514) 722-5350.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Cuu help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.
