At CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU, 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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Nguyen with concerns about a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, making a positive and lasting return to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions not just possible, but highly feasible.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own at Dr Nguyen's practice is consistently achieving the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• Are you struggling with needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth? Dr Nguyen partners with patients to target gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain a much more achievable reality.
• Dr Nguyen expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Nguyen, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Ample parking is generally available close to the dental office; please observe local signage.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Nguyen will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Nguyen's specific recommendations.

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 RAMQ typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nguyen is your primary dental care provider, 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 potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr Nguyen will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early gum disease (gingivitis) signs include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes bad breath. Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) may show receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or bite changes. See Dr Nguyen promptly if you notice these symptoms.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Nguyen determines frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No referral is typically needed to see a general dentist. Contact CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Nguyen.
