• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns at Dr On's practice is consistently achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr On to see patients who were troubled by a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially successfully achieve achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.

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

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr On 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).

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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE HOMA.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr On at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE HOMA?

Your first visit with Dr On 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 On 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr On 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr On will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr On's specific recommendation is essential.
