At Dr Marie Seguin, 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 Cyr frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Cyr helps patients strive for a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This makes participating in activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion a pleasant and possible experience again.
• A key objective when treating their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli at Dr Cyr's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider with Dr Cyr's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health once more.
• Managing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Cyr and the dental team. The clear aim is always their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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

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. 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 Dr Marie Seguin.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dr Marie Seguin directly to arrange their visit with Dr Cyr.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Cyr 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Cyr's specific recommendations.

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 Cyr 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Cyr at Dr Marie Seguin?

Your first visit with Dr Cyr 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 Cyr will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
