At CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL, 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 Lapierre frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Lapierre's comprehensive care for a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is meticulously designed to result in an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle without dental worries.
• Dr Lapierre provides dedicated support for patients going through their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Managing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Lapierre and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Are you struggling with wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent? Dr Lapierre partners with patients to target having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness a much more achievable reality.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Lapierre, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lapierre at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL?

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lapierre will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Lapierre's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lapierre.

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 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). 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 before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL.
