At Clinique dentaire Louis Charbonneau, 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 Grégoire frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, involves working systematically towards experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth. Dr Grégoire expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is a common journey for patients under Dr Grégoire's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, so that daily routines and pleasures like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage become straightforward again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, Dr Grégoire offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Grégoire develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Grégoire will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr Grégoire's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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 always used to further 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 more complex treatments. Dr Grégoire will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Louis Charbonneau directly to arrange their visit with Dr Grégoire.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Grégoire at Clinique dentaire Louis Charbonneau?

Your first visit with Dr Grégoire 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 Grégoire will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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 Quebec, provincial health plans like RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may also provide coverage for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Clinique dentaire Louis Charbonneau.
