• For patients where wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is a primary concern, Dr Laguë focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Laguë at Clinique Dentaire Marie-Eve Laguë?

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

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

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

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Laguë 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. For example, some patients may need visits 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. Following Dr Laguë's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Laguë is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr Laguë also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire Marie-Eve Laguë.
