At LACHUTE DENTAL CLINIC - DRS. L,CHADWICK AND DR. R. KORZINSTONE, 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 Chadwick frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr Chadwick's practice is consistently achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.

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 may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at LACHUTE DENTAL CLINIC - DRS. L,CHADWICK AND DR. R. KORZINSTONE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Chadwick at LACHUTE DENTAL CLINIC - DRS. L,CHADWICK AND DR. R. KORZINSTONE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Chadwick and the team at LACHUTE DENTAL CLINIC - DRS. L,CHADWICK AND DR. R. KORZINSTONE 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 Chadwick will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Chadwick 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 (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 Chadwick's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Chadwick for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with LACHUTE DENTAL CLINIC - DRS. L,CHADWICK AND DR. R. KORZINSTONE.

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 Chadwick 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).
