Achieving Your Oral Health & Smile Goals with Dr Paquette
At IMMAX Rive Nord, 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 Paquette frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- With Dr Paquette's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is focused on achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth without dental concerns.
- Patients experiencing their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Paquette's practice, a key objective is their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
- For those affected by an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr Paquette provides solutions that lead to their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
- A key objective when treating their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach at Dr Paquette's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Paquette, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr Paquette is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Paquette in Rosemère
- 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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at IMMAX Rive Nord.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Paquette at IMMAX Rive Nord?
- At your initial appointment, Dr Paquette and the team at IMMAX Rive Nord 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 Paquette will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of IMMAX Rive Nord's regular office hours?
- If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of IMMAX Rive Nord’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (450) 543-4343. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Paquette or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Rosemère area.
- 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 Paquette 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 Paquette for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Paquette will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Always follow Dr Paquette's specific recommendation.
- 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, and are in good general health. Dr Paquette can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Paquette typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Paquette is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Paquette?
- No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Paquette for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with IMMAX Rive Nord.
