At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLEBOIS, 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 Paquet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Through Dr Paquet's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close often find they can readily achieve their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Paquet with concerns about experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, making a positive and lasting return to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Patients experiencing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Paquet's practice, a key objective is the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Managing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Paquet and the dental team. The clear aim is always achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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

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

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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential 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 CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLEBOIS.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Paquet at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHARLEBOIS?

Your first visit with Dr Paquet 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 Paquet 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.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Paquet 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).
