At CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS D'AHUNTSIC, 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 Trinh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr Trinh's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth often find they can readily achieve their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Managing their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Trinh and the dental team. The clear aim is always their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Effectively addressing waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding with Dr Trinh's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and social interactions.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile at Dr Trinh's practice is consistently achieving having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.

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

What is CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS D'AHUNTSIC's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Trinh 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).

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 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Trinh is the primary dental care provider, offering 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Trinh at CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS D'AHUNTSIC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Trinh and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Trinh 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 Trinh?

No referral is typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact CENTRE DENTAIRE EXPRESS D'AHUNTSIC directly.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Trinh will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Trinh's specific recommendation.
