At CENTRE DENTAIRE, 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 Dai frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile, Dr Dai outlines a path to a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• For those affected by noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer, Dr Dai provides solutions that lead to a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant, involves working systematically towards their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. Dr Dai expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• Overcoming or effectively managing concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history is a common journey for patients under Dr Dai's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, so that daily routines and pleasures like their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet become straightforward again.

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

Ample parking is generally available close to the dental office; please observe local signage.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Dai will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Dai's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dai is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. Dr Dai offers a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental 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. Dr Dai also provides education on oral hygiene and refers 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 always used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dai will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the principle of 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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often through employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dai at CENTRE DENTAIRE?

At your first appointment, Dr Dai and the team will get 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 oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Dai will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is not needed to see a general dentist like Dr Dai. You can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE directly to schedule an appointment.
