At Clinique Dentaire de Blainville, 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 Lupien frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

  • Dr Lupien often consults with patients whose a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
  • Through Dr Lupien's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth often find they can readily achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out.
  • If a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Lupien develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
  • Dr Lupien's comprehensive care for their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach is meticulously designed to result in their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine without dental worries.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Lupien, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Lupien is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Lupien?
Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire de Blainville directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lupien.
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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Lupien 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).
How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Lupien for a check-up and cleaning?
For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lupien will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. For example, some patients 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. It is important to follow Dr Lupien's specific recommendation.
What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lupien at Clinique Dentaire de Blainville?
At your initial appointment, Dr Lupien and the team at Clinique Dentaire de Blainville 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 Lupien will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Lupien offer any sedation options?

They can explore various comfort measures and relaxation techniques. If necessary, Dr Lupien can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.
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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.
What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Lupien typically provide?
A General Dentist like Dr Lupien 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.
