At Clareo MONT-LAURIER, 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 Doré frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a desire to explore more permanent or stable options for replacing all of their missing teeth effectively, involves working systematically towards their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. Dr Doré expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• If experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Doré develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is a common journey for patients under Dr Doré's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, so that daily routines and pleasures like their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence become straightforward again.
• If a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is preventing you from fully enjoying their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth or causing discomfort, Dr Doré offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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 Clareo MONT-LAURIER.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Doré at Clareo MONT-LAURIER?

Your first visit with Dr Doré 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 Doré 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.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Doré 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).

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Doré help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Doré can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Doré is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Doré for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clareo MONT-LAURIER.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Doré will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). It's important to follow Dr Doré's specific recommendation.
