At Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis, 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 Boisvert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning to wellness often involves Dr Boisvert's dedicated care. The milestone is the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, which opens the door back to activities such as confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• A key objective when treating needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect at Dr Boisvert's welcoming dental clinic is achieving a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• Are you struggling with an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching? Dr Boisvert partners with patients to target their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a much more achievable reality.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Boisvert about a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is to attain their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.

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

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 through 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis.

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 to further minimize exposure. 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 Boisvert 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Boisvert will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is essential to follow Dr Boisvert's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis directly to arrange their visit with Dr Boisvert.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boisvert at Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis?

At your initial appointment, Dr Boisvert and the team at Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis 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 Boisvert will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Boisvert 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Boisvert can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Boisvert can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Clinique d'endodontie de Lévis's regular office hours?
