• Dr Kaspar provides dedicated support for patients going through an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing, always aiming for positive outcomes like their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• If their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is preventing you from fully enjoying speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings or causing discomfort, Dr Kaspar offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Kaspar 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 Kaspar will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Kaspar's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kaspar at Clinique dentaire La vallée?

At your initial appointment, Dr Kaspar and the team at Clinique dentaire La vallée 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 Kaspar 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 RAMQ typically do NOT 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 with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Clinique dentaire La vallée.

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, or plan complex treatments). Dr Kaspar will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist like Dr Kaspar. You can contact Clinique dentaire La vallée directly to schedule an appointment.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist (like Dr Kaspar) is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has necessary information and the visit is appropriate. If Dr Kaspar feels you need specialist care, they will provide a referral for coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Kaspar provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and sometimes cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
