At Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie, 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 Dorismond frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Dorismond develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing is a common journey for patients under Dr Dorismond's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness become straightforward again.
• The journey from one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly to wellness often involves Dr Dorismond's dedicated care. The milestone is a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• Through Dr Dorismond's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming often find they can readily achieve feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like confidently recommending their dentist, {preferred_name}, to friends and family based on their positive experiences.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Dorismond will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr Dorismond's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dorismond is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for patients of all ages. This includes preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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 such as whitening or bonding. Dr Dorismond also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex dental needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dorismond at Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dorismond and the team at Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals you have, and then undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to obtain a complete picture of your oral health. Based on this comprehensive assessment, Dr Dorismond will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is also an excellent opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

What is the process for becoming a new patient at Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie with Dr Dorismond?

Does Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Dorismond will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

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

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. Some 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., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Petite-Patrie.
