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

A General Dentist like Dr Labranche 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Labranche also provides education on oral hygiene and refers 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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some 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). Government assistance programs may also cover dental care for eligible groups such as low-income families with children or seniors receiving certain benefits. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage and always check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE.

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 necessary, for example, for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Labranche will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Labranche will personalize this schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr Labranche's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Labranche for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT-SAINT-HILAIRE.
