At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHURCHILL-TASCHEREAU, 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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics under Dr Nguyen's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day without the former limitations or discomfort.
• For patients where waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding is a primary concern, Dr Nguyen focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.
• For those affected by their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities, Dr Nguyen provides solutions that lead to their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Dr Nguyen often consults with patients whose their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nguyen 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). Dr Nguyen also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHURCHILL-TASCHEREAU.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHURCHILL-TASCHEREAU directly to arrange their visit with Dr Nguyen.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Nguyen will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay). Dr Nguyen determines the frequency based on individual oral health and risk factors, adhering to ALARA guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHURCHILL-TASCHEREAU?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive examination: review of medical and dental history, check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr Nguyen will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning may also be performed or scheduled.
