At Clinique dentaire Alpha, 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 Zhang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Zhang provides dedicated support for patients going through needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, always aiming for positive outcomes like the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Zhang when they first notice an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, enabling them to once again enjoy experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day without hesitation.
• Effectively addressing an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear with Dr Zhang's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain and social interactions.
• A key objective when treating a wish to correct slightly crooked or misaligned front teeth without undergoing full comprehensive orthodontic braces at Dr Zhang's welcoming dental clinic is achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children.

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

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

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

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 to minimize any potential exposure further. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Zhang 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 Zhang at Clinique dentaire Alpha?

At your initial appointment, Dr Zhang and the team at Clinique dentaire Alpha 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 Zhang will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Zhang will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Zhang's specific recommendation.

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. 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., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Alpha.
