At Clinique Dentaire Vaudreuil, 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 Lo frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Lo develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected is a common journey for patients under Dr Lo's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, so that daily routines and pleasures like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post become straightforward again.
• Effectively addressing feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth with Dr Lo's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life and social interactions.
• Through Dr Lo's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development often find they can readily achieve their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.

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

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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire Vaudreuil.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lo 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What is Clinique Dentaire Vaudreuil's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Lo. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Vaudreuil directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lo.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lo at Clinique Dentaire Vaudreuil?

At your initial appointment, Dr Lo and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Lo will then 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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lo will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Lo will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Lo's specific recommendation.
