• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection at Dr Sirois's practice is consistently achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• If wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation has unfortunately put feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Sirois works closely with patients towards attaining their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, so that daily routines and pleasures like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern become straightforward again.

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 Sirois can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Sirois can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Sirois at Centre Dentaire Distinction sourire Lebourgneuf?

Your first visit with Dr Sirois will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Sirois will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Centre Dentaire Distinction sourire Lebourgneuf.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sirois will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Sirois's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Sirois is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 complex needs.

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 Sirois will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Sirois for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Distinction sourire Lebourgneuf.
