At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOSEANNE HENRY 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 Henry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development with Dr Henry's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard and social interactions.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Henry about their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to is to attain a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is a common journey for patients under Dr Henry's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation become straightforward again.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Henry to see patients who were troubled by a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain successfully achieve experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Henry at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOSEANNE HENRY INC?

Your first visit with Dr Henry 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 Henry will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Henry 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr Henry's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

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

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 by RAMQ. 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 JOSEANNE HENRY INC.

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 also used. 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 Henry 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).
