At Clinique Dentaire Dr Nathalie Arpin, 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 Arpin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with 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 find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment under Dr Arpin's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Understanding the frustration a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them can cause, Dr Arpin tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, allowing for renewed participation in activities like confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Arpin when they first notice an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without hesitation.
• Overcoming or effectively managing the area around one of their existing dental implants feeling persistently sore, inflamed, or showing signs of bleeding is a common journey for patients under Dr Arpin's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, so that daily routines and pleasures like showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion become straightforward again.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Arpin 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 crucial to follow Dr Arpin's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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. 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 Arpin 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 Arpin at Clinique Dentaire Dr Nathalie Arpin?

Your first visit with Dr Arpin 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 Arpin 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.

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

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

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 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 essential 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 Dr Nathalie Arpin.
