At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR JACOB TINK, 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 Tink frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Tink's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is focused on achieving finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post without dental concerns.
• At Dr Tink's clinic, addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some 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., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR JACOB TINK.

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

Dental X-rays are very 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). Dr Tink determines the 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 Tink?

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. Contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR JACOB TINK directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Tink.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Tink will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits if managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr Tink's specific recommendations.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR JACOB TINK's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing), go to the nearest hospital or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth), call the main office number at (514) 735-1101. Our voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to emergency dental services in Montréal.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tink at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR JACOB TINK?

Dr Tink will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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