What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Gardus can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Gardus can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Gardus 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 Gardus?

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Gardus typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Gardus is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR. MADLEN GARDUS.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Gardus will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Gardus's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Gardus at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR. MADLEN GARDUS?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and have a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Gardus will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
