At Éclipse Dentisterie, 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 Godbout-Parent frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Understanding the frustration having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard can cause, Dr Godbout-Parent tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, involves working systematically towards an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. Dr Godbout-Parent expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily.
• At Dr Godbout-Parent's clinic, addressing needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• Managing a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Godbout-Parent and the dental team. The clear aim is always their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, 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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Éclipse Dentisterie.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Godbout-Parent will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Godbout-Parent's specific recommendations.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Godbout-Parent?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Éclipse Dentisterie directly to arrange their visit with Dr Godbout-Parent.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Godbout-Parent at Éclipse Dentisterie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Godbout-Parent and the team at Éclipse Dentisterie 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 Godbout-Parent will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Godbout-Parent 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).
