At Centre dentaire Nathalie Bessette, 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 Grégoire frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Grégoire helps patients strive for 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 makes participating in activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, Dr Grégoire offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed, involves working systematically towards successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. Dr Grégoire expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• At Dr Grégoire's clinic, addressing looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults means focusing on patient goals. Achieving achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.

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 always 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 Grégoire 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 Grégoire at Centre dentaire Nathalie Bessette?

At your initial appointment, Dr Grégoire and the team at Centre dentaire Nathalie Bessette 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 Grégoire will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Grégoire 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.

What payment options are available at Centre dentaire Nathalie Bessette for dental services?

Centre dentaire Nathalie Bessette accepts cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. They also work with many private dental insurance plans. Discuss payment arrangements and insurance details with their administrative team before treatment. Payment is generally expected at the time of service.

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

For most patients, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr Grégoire will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr Grégoire's specific recommendations.
