At CENTRE DENTAIRE MAXIME CHAMPAGNE, 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 Champagne frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr Champagne provides solutions that lead to having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Effectively addressing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly with Dr Champagne's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort and social interactions.
• If a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is preventing you from fully enjoying laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth or causing discomfort, Dr Champagne offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Through Dr Champagne's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems often find they can readily achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

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

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE MAXIME CHAMPAGNE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Champagne.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Champagne at CENTRE DENTAIRE MAXIME CHAMPAGNE?

Your first visit with Dr Champagne 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 Champagne 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Champagne 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer 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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Champagne 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 strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MAXIME CHAMPAGNE.
