At CENTRE DENTAIRE TRAN, RIOUX, REAVELL & ASS., 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 Tran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Tran with concerns about experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots, making a positive and lasting return to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Dr Tran's comprehensive care for wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is meticulously designed to result in experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures without dental worries.
• Dr Tran expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Tran develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Tran, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 always 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 Tran 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Tran will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Tran's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tran 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, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Tran also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tran at CENTRE DENTAIRE TRAN, RIOUX, REAVELL & ASS.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Tran and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE TRAN, RIOUX, REAVELL & ASS. will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Tran will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE TRAN, RIOUX, REAVELL & ASS..

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE TRAN, RIOUX, REAVELL & ASS. directly to arrange your visit with Dr Tran.
