At Clinique dentaire Bromont Inc., 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 Rochette frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Rochette and the dental team. The clear aim is always their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• A key objective when treating simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning at Dr Rochette's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• At Dr Rochette's clinic, addressing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• For those affected by an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr Rochette provides solutions that lead to feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.

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 minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Rochette 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 Rochette for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rochette 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 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's crucial to follow Dr Rochette's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rochette at Clinique dentaire Bromont Inc.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Rochette and the team at Clinique dentaire Bromont Inc. 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 Rochette 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 Rochette?

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

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. 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 essential 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 Clinique dentaire Bromont Inc..
