At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE KARINE MAGNAN, 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 Magnan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence, Dr Magnan and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The journey from a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture to wellness often involves Dr Magnan's dedicated care. The milestone is feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• Effectively addressing a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered with Dr Magnan's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures and social interactions.
• Through Dr Magnan's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain often find they can readily achieve their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Magnan 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. It is crucial to follow Dr Magnan's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Magnan is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, such as whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Dr Magnan also provides education on proper oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

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 essential 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 DRE KARINE MAGNAN.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Magnan at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE KARINE MAGNAN?

At your initial appointment, Dr Magnan and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE KARINE MAGNAN 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 Magnan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 during the procedure. 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 Magnan 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).
