• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a desire for a more permanent, comfortable, and functional solution than their current removable partial denture with Dr Moreau's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

• Patients experiencing a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Moreau's practice, a key objective is their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion.

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Moreau 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 Moreau?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence directly to arrange their visit with Dr Moreau.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Moreau. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Moreau identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Moreau at Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence?

At your initial appointment, Dr Moreau and the team at Anjou Centre Dentaire D'Urgence 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 Moreau will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Moreau 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Moreau's specific recommendation.

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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Moreau 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.
