At CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL, 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 Tran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth, Dr Tran provides solutions that lead to their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding at Dr Tran's practice is consistently achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• Through Dr Tran's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing often find they can readily achieve their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• Patients experiencing their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Tran's practice, a key objective is the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.

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

Dr Tran's practice, CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL, is situated in a central location within the Montréal neighborhood of Montréal. The clinic is conveniently located near local shops and community amenities and is accessible via major local public transit routes.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Tran will personalize this schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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. Following Dr Tran's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 Tran 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).

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL directly to arrange their visit with Dr Tran.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tran 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tran at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Tran and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Tran will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
