At Clinique dentaire DRS Patrick McCabe & Robert McCabe, 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 McCabe frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr McCabe expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry, means they can happily and comfortably get back to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• If their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr McCabe develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• With Dr McCabe's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is focused on achieving feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings without dental concerns.
• When a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding, Dr McCabe and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr McCabe 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). Dr McCabe also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr McCabe are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr McCabe will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr McCabe's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr McCabe at Clinique dentaire DRS Patrick McCabe & Robert McCabe?

Your first visit with Dr McCabe 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 McCabe will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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. Dr McCabe 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).
