At CENTRE PROSTHODONTIQUE MONT-ROYAL, 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 Boudrias frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Boudrias develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• Dr Boudrias's comprehensive care for a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered is meticulously designed to result in their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard without dental worries.
• When patients discuss experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, Dr Boudrias outlines a path to their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Dr Boudrias often consults with patients whose needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional significantly limits their enjoyment of travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to 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) and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Boudrias, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

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

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 strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE PROSTHODONTIQUE MONT-ROYAL.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boudrias at CENTRE PROSTHODONTIQUE MONT-ROYAL?

Your first visit with Dr Boudrias 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 Boudrias 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 Boudrias for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Boudrias will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Boudrias's specific recommendation.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Boudrias 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 are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Boudrias promptly.

Does CENTRE PROSTHODONTIQUE MONT-ROYAL offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?
