At CENTRE DENTAIRE STE COLETTE, 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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Nguyen often consults with patients whose an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing significantly limits their enjoyment of travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr Nguyen expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• Managing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Nguyen and the dental team. The clear aim is always finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For individuals troubled by their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence, Dr Nguyen's approach is focused on delivering transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth with a healthier smile.

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

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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). 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE STE COLETTE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nguyen will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Nguyen's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at CENTRE DENTAIRE STE COLETTE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nguyen and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE STE COLETTE 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 Nguyen 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. 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 Nguyen 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).

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

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