At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CRISTAL, 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 Dan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to has unfortunately put their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Dan works closely with patients towards attaining their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, Dr Dan offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Effectively addressing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities with Dr Dan's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem and social interactions.
• Understanding the frustration a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider can cause, Dr Dan tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, allowing for renewed participation in activities like attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.

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

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

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Dan 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 Dan at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CRISTAL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dan and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CRISTAL 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 Dan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 through 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 might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CRISTAL.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Dan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Dan's specific recommendation is essential.
