At Centre Dentaire Place Viau, 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 That frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr That develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures.
• Dr That expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, means they can happily and comfortably get back to resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.
• When their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr That helps patients strive for feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This makes participating in activities such as being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures a pleasant and possible experience again.
• When patients discuss an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention, Dr That outlines a path to their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr That, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr That for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Place Viau.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr That 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr That's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Centre Dentaire Place Viau.

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. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr That 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 That at Centre Dentaire Place Viau?

Your first visit with Dr That will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 That will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
