At Université Laval. Pavillon de médecine dentaire., 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 Oliveira frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture to wellness often involves Dr Oliveira's dedicated care. The milestone is achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, which opens the door back to activities such as their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• Managing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Oliveira and the dental team. The clear aim is always the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients experiencing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Oliveira's practice, a key objective is their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Dr Oliveira understands that dealing with a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath and feeling their best.

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

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 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). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Université Laval. Pavillon de médecine dentaire..

Dr Oliveira 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.

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

For preventative care, most patients benefit from check-ups and cleanings every 6 months. However, Dr Oliveira will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr Oliveira's specific recommendation is essential.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr Oliveira will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
