At Clinique Dentaire Pichler, 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 Pichler frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, Dr Pichler's approach is focused on delivering gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects with a healthier smile.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Pichler about a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile is to attain feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Dr Pichler expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, means they can happily and comfortably get back to passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• If one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Pichler develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Pichler directly to arrange their visit with Dr Pichler.

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 by RAMQ. 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might 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 Pichler.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Pichler at Clinique Dentaire Pichler?

Your first visit with Dr Pichler 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 Pichler 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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Pichler 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Pichler will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any 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). It is important to follow Dr Pichler's specific recommendation.
