At CENTRE DENTAIRE MATTHIEU MÉNARD, 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 Ménard frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults, involves working systematically towards their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. Dr Ménard expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• Understanding the frustration recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit can cause, Dr Ménard tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• When a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments, Dr Ménard and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider with Dr Ménard's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort once more.

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Ménard 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 Ménard for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Ménard will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Ménard's specific recommendation.

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

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

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE MATTHIEU MÉNARD.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Ménard 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, 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ménard at CENTRE DENTAIRE MATTHIEU MÉNARD?

At your initial appointment, Dr Ménard and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Ménard will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
