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

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

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your potential public coverage and private dental insurance details before treatment at DENTISTES DU VIEUX STE-ROSE INC..

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

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

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. Dr Desmarais will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
