At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LA MONTAGNE, 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-Jolicoeur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Tran-Jolicoeur when they first notice one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, enabling them to once again enjoy concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort without hesitation.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Tran-Jolicoeur about a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming is to attain their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• Managing a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Tran-Jolicoeur and the dental team. The clear aim is always their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Tran-Jolicoeur's comprehensive care for experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is meticulously designed to result in their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day without dental worries.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tran-Jolicoeur at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LA MONTAGNE?

Your first visit with Dr Tran-Jolicoeur 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 Tran-Jolicoeur 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.

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

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

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE LA MONTAGNE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Tran-Jolicoeur 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Tran-Jolicoeur's specific recommendations.

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 also 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-Jolicoeur 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).
