At Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière, 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 Ouellet-Pépin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional at Dr Ouellet-Pépin's practice is consistently achieving their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• When an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums, Dr Ouellet-Pépin and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Patients experiencing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Ouellet-Pépin's practice, a key objective is a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease, Dr Ouellet-Pépin offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ouellet-Pépin at Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière?

Your first visit with Dr Ouellet-Pépin 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 Ouellet-Pépin 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 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Ouellet-Pépin?

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Ouellet-Pépin for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Ouellet-Pépin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others might have longer intervals. Follow Dr Ouellet-Pépin's specific recommendations.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Ouellet-Pépin will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
