At ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC, 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 Solis frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing 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) often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Solis's practice, a key objective is their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• For those affected by experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite, Dr Solis provides solutions that lead to their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Solis about a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation is to attain their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• When patients discuss experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits, Dr Solis outlines a path to their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Solis at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Solis and the team at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC 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 Solis will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do <b>not</b> 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 <em>might</em> 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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Solis can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Solis can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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. 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 Solis 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 Solis for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr Solis will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). It is important to follow Dr Solis's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC directly to arrange their visit with Dr Solis.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Solis 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What payment options are available at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC for dental services?
