At À LA CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-DENIS, 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 Landry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, Dr Landry's approach is focused on delivering a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity with a healthier smile.
• If needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) has unfortunately put their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Landry works closely with patients towards attaining the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For those affected by a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite, Dr Landry provides solutions that lead to their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation with Dr Landry's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile once more.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Landry, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Landry 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 Landry for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings with Dr. Landry are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Landry will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs and risk factors, such as a history of cavities or gum disease. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr. Landry's specific recommendation for your situation is key to maintaining optimal oral health.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Landry. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at À LA CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-DENIS. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Landry might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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 overall health. Dr Landry can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Landry can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Landry at À LA CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-DENIS?

Your first visit with Dr Landry 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 Landry 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.

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

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

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors receiving certain benefits). It's crucial to check your private dental insurance coverage details and explore any potential public coverage you may qualify for before treatment at À LA CLINIQUE DENTAIRE ST-DENIS.

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

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

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 minimize exposure further. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Landry 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).
