• A key objective when treating their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure at Dr Boivin's welcoming dental clinic is achieving finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Through Dr Boivin's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer often find they can readily achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• When patients discuss their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening, Dr Boivin outlines a path to achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Boivin about their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession is to attain a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.

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 by RAMQ. 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 may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Centre Dentaire des Ormeaux.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Boivin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Boivin's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre Dentaire des Ormeaux directly to arrange their visit with Dr Boivin.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boivin at Centre Dentaire des Ormeaux?

Your first visit with Dr Boivin 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 Boivin will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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. 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 Boivin 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).
