• The primary focus for patients seeking help for simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning at Dr Deléglise's practice is consistently achieving achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision.

• Dr Deléglise expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy). A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, means they can happily and comfortably get back to enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Through Dr Deléglise's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods often find they can readily achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Deléglise will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Deléglise will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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. It's crucial to follow Dr Deléglise's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Deléglise is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide important education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Deléglise at Centre Dentaire Jean-Louis Bélanger?

Your first visit with Dr Deléglise 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 Deléglise will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Centre Dentaire Jean-Louis Bélanger.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Centre Dentaire Jean-Louis Bélanger directly to arrange your visit with Dr Deléglise.
