At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOHANNA PHAM 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 Pham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, Dr Pham's approach is focused on delivering their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work with a healthier smile.
• If a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces is preventing you from fully enjoying showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion or causing discomfort, Dr Pham offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• If a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Pham develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Dr Pham understands that dealing with their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and feeling their best.

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

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 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 JOHANNA PHAM INC.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Pham for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOHANNA PHAM INC..

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Pham 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 (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Pham's specific recommendations.

What is CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOHANNA PHAM INC.'s policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Pham. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Pham will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Pham 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 Pham at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOHANNA PHAM INC.?

At your first visit, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Pham will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
