At Clinique Dentaire Myrand, 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 Leblanc frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances at Dr Leblanc's practice is consistently achieving receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.
• At Dr Leblanc's clinic, addressing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought.
• Managing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Leblanc and the dental team. The clear aim is always the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Leblanc to see patients who were troubled by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth successfully achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Clinique Dentaire Myrand.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Leblanc 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 require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others may have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Leblanc's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Leblanc at Clinique Dentaire Myrand?

At your initial appointment, Dr Leblanc and the team at Clinique Dentaire Myrand 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Leblanc will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Leblanc 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).

Does Clinique Dentaire Myrand offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Myrand directly to arrange their visit with Dr Leblanc.
