At Dentaldocs, 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. Beaupre frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is a common journey for patients under Dr. Beaupre's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, so that daily routines and pleasures like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort become straightforward again.
• For patients where needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional is a primary concern, Dr. Beaupre focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Beaupre with concerns about wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, making a positive and lasting return to experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Beaupre when they first notice their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, enabling them to once again enjoy their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Beaupre, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP 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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Dentaldocs.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Beaupre determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Beaupre at Dentaldocs?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Beaupre will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Beaupre will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits if managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Beaupre's specific recommendation.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Dentaldocs directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Beaupre.
