At Clinique dentaire La Rochelle, 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 Moreno frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit, involves working systematically towards their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. Dr Moreno expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene at Dr Moreno's practice is consistently achieving their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• With Dr Moreno's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem is focused on achieving their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without dental concerns.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces is a common journey for patients under Dr Moreno's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, so that daily routines and pleasures like easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain become straightforward again.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Moreno will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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. It is essential to follow Dr Moreno's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire La Rochelle directly to arrange their visit with Dr Moreno.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Moreno at Clinique dentaire La Rochelle?

Your first visit with Dr Moreno 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 Moreno 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.

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Moreno 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).

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 important 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 Clinique dentaire La Rochelle.
