At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW, 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 Le frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Le to see patients who were troubled by simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning successfully achieve their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning, involves working systematically towards transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. Dr Le expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• When patients discuss concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr Le outlines a path to feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• Dr Le understands that dealing with a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, helping patients comfortably get back to knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage and feeling their best.

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

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

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Le 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Le at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW?

At your initial appointment, Dr Le and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. 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 Le will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Le 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 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 is important to follow Dr Le's specific recommendation.

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE MATHEW.
