At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE STE-CROIX, 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 Boisvert frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr Boisvert's professional help and expertise when dealing with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, involves working systematically towards their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. Dr Boisvert expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth at Dr Boisvert's practice is consistently achieving the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history with Dr Boisvert's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine once more.

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

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 plan regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE STE-CROIX.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Boisvert 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 need 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 Boisvert's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boisvert at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE STE-CROIX?

At your initial appointment, Dr Boisvert and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE STE-CROIX 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 Boisvert 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 also used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Boisvert 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).
