At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE D'URGENCE ANGUS-MAISONNEUVE, 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 Suen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event under Dr Suen's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily without the former limitations or discomfort.
• For patients where needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional is a primary concern, Dr Suen focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• For those affected by an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear, Dr Suen provides solutions that lead to no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Managing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Suen and the dental team. The clear aim is always achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Suen at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE D'URGENCE ANGUS-MAISONNEUVE?

Your first visit with Dr Suen 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 Suen 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Suen 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 if offered). Dr Suen also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE D'URGENCE ANGUS-MAISONNEUVE's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE D'URGENCE ANGUS-MAISONNEUVE’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 437-1299. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Suen or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Montréal area.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE D'URGENCE ANGUS-MAISONNEUVE.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr Suen will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Suen's specific recommendation.

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 Suen 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).
