At CENTRE DENTAIRE MICHEL MALBOEUF, 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 Malboeuf frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Malboeuf's practice, a key objective is finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• Dr Malboeuf expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• If needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) has unfortunately put confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Malboeuf works closely with patients towards attaining the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Dr Malboeuf provides dedicated support for patients going through 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, always aiming for positive outcomes like having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Malboeuf at CENTRE DENTAIRE MICHEL MALBOEUF?

At your initial appointment, Dr Malboeuf and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE MICHEL MALBOEUF 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.

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). 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 before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MICHEL MALBOEUF.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Malboeuf 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Malboeuf. A referral ensures the specialist has the relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Malboeuf identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Malboeuf 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 is CENTRE DENTAIRE MICHEL MALBOEUF's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 48 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Malboeuf. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $75. We appreciate your cooperation.

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

Generally, we recommend every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Malboeuf will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Malboeuf's specific recommendations.
