At Clinique dentaire Marc-André Bergeron, 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 Martenot frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort under Dr Martenot's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr Martenot's comprehensive care for needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) is meticulously designed to result in their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth without dental worries.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment, involves working systematically towards gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. Dr Martenot expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• Dr Martenot expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, means they can happily and comfortably get back to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 Marc-André Bergeron.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Martenot at Clinique dentaire Marc-André Bergeron?

At your initial appointment, Dr Martenot and the team at Clinique dentaire Marc-André Bergeron 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 Martenot will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 Martenot 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).
