At ParoGatineau, 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 Quenneville frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Quenneville about a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is to attain their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• Effectively addressing a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close with Dr Quenneville's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence and social interactions.
• Dr Quenneville understands that dealing with their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, helping patients comfortably get back to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions and feeling their best.
• If their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider is preventing you from fully enjoying their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain or causing discomfort, Dr Quenneville offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Quenneville will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Quenneville's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Quenneville is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, 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 may include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 during the procedure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Quenneville 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).

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 NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Quenneville for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with ParoGatineau.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Quenneville at ParoGatineau?

At your initial appointment, Dr Quenneville and the team at ParoGatineau will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Quenneville will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's an excellent opportunity to ask questions.
