At Clinique dentaire Sgro Lang & Associés, 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 Sgro frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Understanding the frustration wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development can cause, Dr Sgro tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, allowing for renewed participation in activities like experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• For individuals troubled by wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation, Dr Sgro's approach is focused on delivering a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health with a healthier smile.
• Patients presenting with one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function under Dr Sgro's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The journey from their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care to wellness often involves Dr Sgro's dedicated care. The milestone is gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.

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 Sgro 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 Sgro at Clinique dentaire Sgro Lang & Associés?

At your initial appointment, Dr Sgro and the team at Clinique dentaire Sgro Lang & Associés 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 Sgro will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is strongly advised to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique dentaire Sgro Lang & Associés.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr Sgro will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Sgro's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Sgro Lang & Associés directly to arrange their visit with Dr Sgro.
