At CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DR PASCAL CARRIÈRE, 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 Carrière frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Carrière provides dedicated support for patients going through their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli, always aiming for positive outcomes like finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Patients experiencing experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Carrière's practice, a key objective is their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• Are you struggling with a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident? Dr Carrière partners with patients to target a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends a much more achievable reality.
• For patients where feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth is a primary concern, Dr Carrière focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.

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

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. 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 Carrière 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).

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Carrière at CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DR PASCAL CARRIÈRE?

Your first visit with Dr Carrière will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination.

Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE ORTHODONTIQUE DR PASCAL CARRIÈRE.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Carrière will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Carrière's specific recommendation.
