At Clinique dentaire Huntingdon, 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 Rémillard frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Rémillard when they first notice a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism without hesitation.
• Dr Rémillard understands that dealing with a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity and feeling their best.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Rémillard to see patients who were troubled by wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent successfully achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• When their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Rémillard helps patients strive for their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This makes participating in activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing a pleasant and possible experience again.

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

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

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

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 strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they may be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Huntingdon.

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 further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Rémillard 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rémillard at Clinique dentaire Huntingdon?

At your initial appointment, Dr Rémillard and the team at Clinique dentaire Huntingdon 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 Rémillard will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rémillard will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits). It is important to follow Dr Rémillard's specific recommendations.
