• For individuals troubled by needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth, Dr Allard's approach is focused on delivering their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post with a healthier smile.
• Are you struggling with an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected? Dr Allard partners with patients to target a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life a much more achievable reality.
• Through Dr Allard's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple often find they can readily achieve their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Dr Allard's comprehensive care for wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is meticulously designed to result in their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues without dental worries.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Allard for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Éclipse Dentisterie.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Allard 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Allard's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Allard at Éclipse Dentisterie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Allard and the team at Éclipse Dentisterie 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 Allard 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 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). We strongly advise you 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 Éclipse Dentisterie.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Allard 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).
