At SHARLYNN LAMONTAGNE DMD 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 Lamontagne frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow, involves working systematically towards being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. Dr Lamontagne expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Lamontagne to see patients who were troubled by a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming successfully achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• If needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect is preventing you from fully enjoying simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly or causing discomfort, Dr Lamontagne offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr Lamontagne's comprehensive care for wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is meticulously designed to result in a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth without dental worries.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Lamontagne 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 Lamontagne also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Lamontagne offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Lamontagne focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Lamontagne can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Lamontagne can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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 Lamontagne 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact SHARLYNN LAMONTAGNE DMD INC. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lamontagne.

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. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment at SHARLYNN LAMONTAGNE DMD INC.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Lamontagne will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Lamontagne's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lamontagne at SHARLYNN LAMONTAGNE DMD INC.?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Lamontagne will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
