At CENTRE DENTAIRE STE-MARIE, 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 Henry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Henry about a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is to attain clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, Dr Henry offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• If feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Henry develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Henry when they first notice feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, enabling them to once again enjoy their child participating happily in school photos and social activities without hesitation.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Henry is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Henry also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 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 may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CENTRE DENTAIRE STE-MARIE's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain), call CENTRE DENTAIRE STE-MARIE at (418) 387-4085. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Henry help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Henry can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Henry for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE STE-MARIE.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Henry will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Henry at CENTRE DENTAIRE STE-MARIE?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: 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. Henry will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A cleaning may also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Henry will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Henry's specific recommendation.
