At DMD Mentorat, 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 Robert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Robert develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming with Dr Robert's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them once more.
• The journey from a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them to wellness often involves Dr Robert's dedicated care. The milestone is their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• Dr Robert understands that dealing with a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, helping patients comfortably get back to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern and feeling their best.

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 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 by RAMQ. 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, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at DMD Mentorat.

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 further minimize exposure. 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 Robert 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact DMD Mentorat directly to arrange their visit with Dr Robert.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Robert at DMD Mentorat?

Your first visit with Dr Robert 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 Robert 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Robert 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.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Robert will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's important to follow Dr Robert's specific recommendation.
