At Orthodontie St-Eustache, 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 Fisette frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Fisette expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• Many people seek Dr Fisette's professional help and expertise when dealing with a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• When 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) begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Fisette helps patients strive for their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This makes participating in activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits a pleasant and possible experience again.
• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Fisette develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Fisette 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 may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr Fisette also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Fisette 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 Fisette at Orthodontie St-Eustache?

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

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 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 to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Fisette 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Fisette's specific recommendation is essential.
