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

A General Dentist like Dr. Tremblay is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Tremblay also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Tremblay for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE Élizabeth Lessard.

What payment options are available at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE Élizabeth Lessard for dental services?

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tremblay at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE Élizabeth Lessard?

At your initial appointment, Dr Tremblay and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE Élizabeth Lessard 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 Tremblay 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 Tremblay for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Tremblay will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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 between appointments. Following Dr Tremblay's specific recommendation is key.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Tremblay will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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 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 strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE Élizabeth Lessard.
