At Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière, 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 Button frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer, Dr Button's approach is focused on delivering achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them with a healthier smile.
• Dr Button provides dedicated support for patients going through an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected, always aiming for positive outcomes like their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.
• At Dr Button's clinic, addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Button about one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is to attain an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Button are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Button for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Button will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr Button's specific recommendation.

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 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 essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière.

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 Button 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr Button 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Button at Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière?

At your initial appointment, Dr Button and the team at Clinique Dentaire de l'Érablière 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 Button will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
