At Clinique dentaire Dinh et Tran, 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 Dinh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Dinh understands that dealing with their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, helping patients comfortably get back to no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care and feeling their best.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain with Dr Dinh's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings once more.
• If their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening is preventing you from fully enjoying easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain or causing discomfort, Dr Dinh offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr Dinh provides dedicated support for patients going through their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), always aiming for positive outcomes like a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Dinh, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Dinh is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 by RAMQ. 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Clinique dentaire Dinh et Tran.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dinh 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Dinh et Tran directly to arrange their visit with Dr Dinh.

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

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

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 during the procedure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dinh 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 Dinh at Clinique dentaire Dinh et Tran?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dinh and the team 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. Based on this, Dr Dinh will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
