At Dr Pierre Jussaume DDS, 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 Jussaume frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Jussaume and the dental team. The clear aim is always the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence, Dr Jussaume and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• For patients where their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening is a primary concern, Dr Jussaume focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Jussaume when they first notice their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling them to once again enjoy no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work without hesitation.

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

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Jussaume 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Jussaume's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. 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's essential 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 Dr Pierre Jussaume DDS.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Jussaume 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 Jussaume at Dr Pierre Jussaume DDS?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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 Jussaume will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
