What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jobin at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOBIN ET BOUDREAULT INC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Jobin and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOBIN ET BOUDREAULT INC 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 Jobin will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOBIN ET BOUDREAULT INC offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for optimal preventative care. However, Dr Jobin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr Jobin's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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

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

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 for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered under specific circumstances. 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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOBIN ET BOUDREAULT INC.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Jobin 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 also offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. General dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Jobin 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).
