At ESPACE SOURIRE IMPLANTOLOGIE ET ESTHÉTIQUE, 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 Albert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Albert provides dedicated support for patients going through a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation, always aiming for positive outcomes like their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• When their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Albert helps patients strive for their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This makes participating in activities such as maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients presenting with needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness under Dr Albert's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health without the former limitations or discomfort.
• A key objective when treating ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem at Dr Albert's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion.

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 further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Albert 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).

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 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at ESPACE SOURIRE IMPLANTOLOGIE ET ESTHÉTIQUE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Albert will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Albert's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Albert for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with ESPACE SOURIRE IMPLANTOLOGIE ET ESTHÉTIQUE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Albert at ESPACE SOURIRE IMPLANTOLOGIE ET ESTHÉTIQUE?

Your first visit with Dr Albert 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 Albert 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 or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
