At Clinique dentaire Cossette & Ruel, 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 Bazinet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation, involves working systematically towards a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile. Dr Bazinet expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
- A key objective when treating their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care at Dr Bazinet's welcoming dental clinic is achieving having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
- Patients frequently come to Dr Bazinet with concerns about experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, making a positive and lasting return to their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet not just possible, but highly feasible.
- The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth at Dr Bazinet's practice is consistently achieving achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth.
Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Bazinet, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

- 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. 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 Cossette & Ruel.
- 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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Bazinet 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).
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Bazinet?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Cossette & Ruel directly to arrange their visit with Dr Bazinet.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bazinet at Clinique dentaire Cossette & Ruel?
- Your first visit with Dr Bazinet will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Bazinet will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Bazinet for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Bazinet will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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). It's essential to follow Dr Bazinet's specific recommendation.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Bazinet typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Bazinet 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
