At CLINIQUE DENTICARE, 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 Sirois frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age, Dr Sirois's approach is focused on delivering their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation with a healthier smile.
• Through Dr Sirois's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits often find they can readily achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• When their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine, Dr Sirois and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Managing a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Sirois and the dental team. The clear aim is always their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance plan (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTICARE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sirois will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Sirois's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Sirois 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 include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTICARE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Sirois.

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 Sirois 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 Sirois at CLINIQUE DENTICARE?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 Sirois will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
