At Clinique Dentaire Pierre Mayrand, 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 Mayrand frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is preventing you from fully enjoying no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues or causing discomfort, Dr Mayrand offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim 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) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr Mayrand provides dedicated support for patients going through experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth, always aiming for positive outcomes like a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.
• Overcoming or effectively managing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear is a common journey for patients under Dr Mayrand's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, so that daily routines and pleasures like participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation at Dr Mayrand's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Mayrand 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 Mayrand's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mayrand at Clinique Dentaire Pierre Mayrand?

At your initial appointment, Dr Mayrand and the team at Clinique Dentaire Pierre Mayrand 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 Mayrand 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 Mayrand?

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

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'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 Clinique Dentaire Pierre Mayrand.

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 during the procedure. 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 Mayrand 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).
