At Clinique dentaire Acton 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 Lebreux frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable, Dr Lebreux provides solutions that lead to their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• If their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Lebreux develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• When patients discuss a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr Lebreux outlines a path to transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Lebreux with concerns about recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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

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 Acton inc.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lebreux 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.

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 Lebreux 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 Lebreux at Clinique dentaire Acton inc.?

Your first visit 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 Lebreux will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Lebreux will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals.
