At CENTRE DENTAIRE LINDSAY, 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 Déry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy)? Dr Déry partners with patients to target their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence a much more achievable reality.
• Dr Déry often consults with patients whose waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding significantly limits their enjoyment of their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr Déry understands that dealing with an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants, helping patients comfortably get back to maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile and feeling their best.
• Through Dr Déry's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort 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 feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Déry 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).

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

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

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 essential 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE LINDSAY.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Déry at CENTRE DENTAIRE LINDSAY?

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Déry 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's crucial to follow Dr Déry's specific recommendations.
