At CISSS MONTÉRÉGIE-CENTRE - DIRECTION SANTÉ PUBLIQUE, 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 Roy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, Dr Roy outlines a path to their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• When a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post, Dr Roy and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• A key objective when treating their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation at Dr Roy's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing, involves working systematically towards clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. Dr Roy expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Roy will personalize this recommendation based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing dental conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr Roy's specific recommendation is key to maintaining 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Roy will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Roy help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Roy can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Roy is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including 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 offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer 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 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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). 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 before starting treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CISSS MONTÉRÉGIE-CENTRE - DIRECTION SANTÉ PUBLIQUE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Roy.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Roy at CISSS MONTÉRÉGIE-CENTRE - DIRECTION SANTÉ PUBLIQUE?
