At Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence, 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 Lorange frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Lorange's clinic, addressing a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Lorange with concerns about a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, making a positive and lasting return to passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children not just possible, but highly feasible.
• If their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Lorange develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• If a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath or causing discomfort, Dr Lorange offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Lorange 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 is crucial to follow Dr Lorange's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 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 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's essential 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 at Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence.

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 Lorange 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lorange at Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence?

Your first visit with Dr Lorange 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 Lorange will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lorange 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding, if offered).
