At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL LUSSIER INC., 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 Lussier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Lussier's comprehensive care for a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is meticulously designed to result in their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures without dental worries.
• Are you struggling with their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession? Dr Lussier partners with patients to target their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding a much more achievable reality.
• Dr Lussier often consults with patients whose a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment significantly limits their enjoyment of their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients presenting with their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area under Dr Lussier's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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 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 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL LUSSIER INC.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Lussier for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL LUSSIER INC..

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Lussier 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) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's important to follow Dr Lussier's specific recommendation.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lussier 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 Lussier at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL LUSSIER INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Lussier and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR MICHEL LUSSIER INC. 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Lussier will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
