At CENTRE DENTAIRE SERGE CHAUSSÉ 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 Chaussé frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is a common journey for patients under Dr Chaussé's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily become straightforward again.
• The journey from wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant to wellness often involves Dr Chaussé's dedicated care. The milestone is their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, which opens the door back to activities such as their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.
• Are you struggling with needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain? Dr Chaussé partners with patients to target a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty a much more achievable reality.
• At Dr Chaussé's clinic, addressing a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing means focusing on patient goals. Achieving experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Chaussé will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might 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. It's crucial to follow Dr Chaussé's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Chaussé at CENTRE DENTAIRE SERGE CHAUSSÉ INC?

Your first visit with Dr Chaussé will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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 Chaussé will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Chaussé 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Chaussé typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Chaussé 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer 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 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). It is strongly recommended to verify any potential public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE SERGE CHAUSSÉ INC.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Chaussé for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE SERGE CHAUSSÉ INC.
