At Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30, 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 Lee frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Lee often consults with patients whose wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Managing an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Lee and the dental team. The clear aim is always their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Lee provides dedicated support for patients going through a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, always aiming for positive outcomes like their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.
• Effectively addressing a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation with Dr Lee's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing and social interactions.

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

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 Lee 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 do if I have a dental emergency outside of Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (800) 527-6468. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Lee or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Brossard area.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lee at Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30?

At your initial appointment, Dr Lee and the team at Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30 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 Lee 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 Lee for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lee will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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 Lee's specific recommendation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lee 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.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre dentaire Lapointe Quartier DIX30 directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lee.

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