At JULIEN & MARIN CHIRURGIENS DENTISTES, 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 Marin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Marin expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, means they can happily and comfortably get back to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Marin with concerns about a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, making a positive and lasting return to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Dr Marin understands that dealing with a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, helping patients comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped and feeling their best.
• If their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably has unfortunately put sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Marin works closely with patients towards attaining their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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 JULIEN & MARIN CHIRURGIENS DENTISTES.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Marin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr Marin'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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Marin 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 Marin at JULIEN & MARIN CHIRURGIENS DENTISTES?

At your initial appointment, Dr Marin and the team at JULIEN & MARIN CHIRURGIENS DENTISTES 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Marin will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Marin for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with JULIEN & MARIN CHIRURGIENS DENTISTES.
