At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MARIE-EVE MORIN, 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:

• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence with Dr Morin's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them once more.
• If recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Morin develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• Patients experiencing a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Morin's practice, a key objective is their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is a common journey for patients under Dr Morin's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, so that daily routines and pleasures like their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments become straightforward again.

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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MARIE-EVE MORIN directly to arrange their visit with Dr Morin.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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, 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 CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MARIE-EVE MORIN.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Morin 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 need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Morin's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Morin at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MARIE-EVE MORIN?

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.

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. 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 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).
