At Studio Dentaire, 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 Dehouck frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Dehouck to see patients who were troubled by concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history successfully achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain at Dr Dehouck's practice is consistently achieving experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing with Dr Dehouck's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing once more.
• Effectively addressing simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning with Dr Dehouck's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle and social interactions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Dehouck for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Studio Dentaire.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Dehouck 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).

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 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Dehouck will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Dehouck's specific recommendation is essential.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dehouck at Studio Dentaire?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dehouck and the team at Studio Dentaire 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 Dehouck will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
