At CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS, 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 Le frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option under Dr Le's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Are you struggling with a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close? Dr Le partners with patients to target a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing a much more achievable reality.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Le when they first notice a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, enabling them to once again enjoy their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments without hesitation.
• Understanding the frustration a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile can cause, Dr Le tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, allowing for renewed participation in activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.

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

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 always 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 Le 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr Le 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). Dr Le also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers 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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Le at CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS?

At your initial appointment, Dr Le and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS 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. Dr Le will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Le will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Le's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Patients can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS directly.
