At CENTRE DENTAIRE DESLAURIERS, 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 Goyer frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity, Dr Goyer and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Goyer develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• Managing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Goyer and the dental team. The clear aim is always a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For those affected by their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation, Dr Goyer provides solutions that lead to having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.

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

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 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 by RAMQ. 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, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE DESLAURIERS.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Goyer will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Goyer's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Goyer is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). General dentists also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex dental needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Goyer at CENTRE DENTAIRE DESLAURIERS?

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

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

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

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. 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 Goyer 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).
