At DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC., 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 Goupil-Lévesque frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is preventing you from fully enjoying maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects or causing discomfort, Dr Goupil-Lévesque offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• For individuals troubled by a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close, Dr Goupil-Lévesque's approach is focused on delivering their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought with a healthier smile.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Goupil-Lévesque about their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is to attain feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
• Dr Goupil-Lévesque understands that dealing with a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking and feeling their best.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Goupil-Lévesque at DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Goupil-Lévesque and the team at DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC. 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 Goupil-Lévesque 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 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 is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Goupil-Lévesque 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Goupil-Lévesque 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). Following Dr Goupil-Lévesque's specific recommendation is essential.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Goupil-Lévesque?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Goupil-Lévesque for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC..
