At ECODENTAIRE CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GUY-CONCORDIA, 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 Loran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Loran's clinic, addressing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Many people seek Dr Loran's professional help and expertise when dealing with feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• Through Dr Loran's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) often find they can readily achieve feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns, Dr Loran offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.

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

Does ECODENTAIRE CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GUY-CONCORDIA 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Loran at ECODENTAIRE CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GUY-CONCORDIA?

At your initial appointment, Dr Loran and the team at ECODENTAIRE CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GUY-CONCORDIA 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 Loran will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Loran 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 Loran 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 Loran?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ECODENTAIRE CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GUY-CONCORDIA directly to arrange their visit with Dr Loran.

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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and 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 using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr Loran will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

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