At CONSEIL CRI DE LA SANTE ET SERVICES DE LA BAIE JAMES, 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 Dansereau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Dansereau when they first notice a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without hesitation.
• When a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Dansereau helps patients strive for finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs. This makes participating in activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard a pleasant and possible experience again.
• If their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Dansereau develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Dansereau about an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath is to attain their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Dansereau, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Dansereau is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Dansereau for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CONSEIL CRI DE LA SANTE ET SERVICES DE LA BAIE JAMES.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dansereau 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Dansereau offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Dansereau focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 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. 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CONSEIL CRI DE LA SANTE ET SERVICES DE LA BAIE JAMES.

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

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

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 diagnostically necessary. Dr Dansereau will determine 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 Dansereau at CONSEIL CRI DE LA SANTE ET SERVICES DE LA BAIE JAMES?

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