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

A General Dentist like Dr Lamarre is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Lamarre also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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 Lamarre 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Lamarre 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). Following Dr Lamarre's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

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

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 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 or through private dental insurance. Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and your private dental insurance details before treatment at Dr Patrick Lamarre Inc.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lamarre at Dr Patrick Lamarre Inc?

At your first appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Lamarre will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
