At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR RACY LY, 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 Kun frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event under Dr Kun's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Understanding the frustration their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth can cause, Dr Kun tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, allowing for renewed participation in activities like attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.
• Dr Kun's comprehensive care for wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is meticulously designed to result in their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath without dental worries.
• Many people seek Dr Kun's professional help and expertise when dealing with their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kun at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR RACY LY?

Your first visit with Dr Kun 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 Kun 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.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Kun 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Kun typically provide?

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR RACY LY directly to arrange their visit with Dr Kun.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr Kun will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Kun's specific recommendation.
