At Simon Doyon Dentiste Inc., 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 Morin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional, involves working systematically towards receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. Dr Morin expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
• Dr Morin provides dedicated support for patients going through recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, always aiming for positive outcomes like their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Morin to see patients who were troubled by needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth successfully achieve their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Morin with concerns about a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal. 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 no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Morin 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 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. 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Simon Doyon Dentiste Inc.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Morin at Simon Doyon Dentiste Inc.?

Your first visit with Dr Morin 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 Morin 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 are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Morin. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at Simon Doyon Dentiste Inc.. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Morin might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Morin 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). Dr Morin also educates on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Morin 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). Follow Dr Morin's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact Simon Doyon Dentiste Inc. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Morin.
