At CENTRE DENTAIRE ROBERT, 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 Robert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Robert's clinic, addressing a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients means focusing on patient goals. Achieving achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.
• Patients experiencing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Robert's practice, a key objective is gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort, involves working systematically towards their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Robert. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Robert identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Robert 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer 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 QC, provincial health plans (like 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE ROBERT.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Robert will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Robert's specific recommendation.

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 Robert 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 Robert at CENTRE DENTAIRE ROBERT?

At your initial appointment, Dr Robert and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE ROBERT 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 Robert will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
