What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Leduc typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Leduc is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr Leduc also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CABINET DENTAIRE.CA.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Leduc determines the frequency based on individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What payment options are available at CABINET DENTAIRE.CA for dental services?

CABINET DENTAIRE.CA accepts cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. They also work with many private dental insurance plans. Please discuss payment and insurance details with their administrative team before your treatment. Payment is generally expected at the time of service.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Leduc will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Leduc's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to see a general dentist. You can contact CABINET DENTAIRE.CA directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Leduc.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Leduc at CABINET DENTAIRE.CA?

Dr Leduc will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
