At Dentisterie MOMA, 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 Huynh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr Huynh offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• Dr Huynh understands that dealing with one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies, helping patients comfortably get back to delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance and feeling their best.
• At Dr Huynh's clinic, addressing their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.
• Dr Huynh provides dedicated support for patients going through feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Huynh at Dentisterie MOMA?

Your first visit with Dr Huynh 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 Huynh 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 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 might 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 Dentisterie MOMA.

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 Huynh 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).

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

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