At ARCHAMBAULT & MORTON ORTHODONTISTES, 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 Morton frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Morton expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, means they can happily and comfortably get back to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to, involves working systematically towards their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural. Dr Morton expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
• If a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them is preventing you from fully enjoying feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing or causing discomfort, Dr Morton offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Patients presenting with wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation under Dr Morton's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage without the former limitations or discomfort.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Morton, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Morton 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 Morton for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, for preventative care, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr Morton will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might 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. It is crucial to follow Dr Morton's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Morton 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 whitening or bonding. Dr Morton also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Morton at ARCHAMBAULT & MORTON ORTHODONTISTES?

At your initial appointment, Dr Morton and the team at ARCHAMBAULT & MORTON ORTHODONTISTES will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You can expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Morton will 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 during the procedure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Morton 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).

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 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. 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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at ARCHAMBAULT & MORTON ORTHODONTISTES.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ARCHAMBAULT & MORTON ORTHODONTISTES directly to arrange their visit with Dr Morton.
