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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach at Dr Nguyen's practice is consistently achieving a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• When a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies, Dr Nguyen and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management and a return to comfort and confidence.
• For patients where a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is a primary concern, Dr Nguyen focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• The journey from their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider to wellness often involves Dr Nguyen's dedicated care. The milestone is finding a welcoming and skilled dental practice capable of caring for their entire family's needs, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

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. Dr Nguyen is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Centre dentaire Mont-Royal.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nguyen 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 more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr Nguyen's specific recommendation.

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 further minimize exposure. 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 Nguyen 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).

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 Centre dentaire Mont-Royal directly to arrange their visit with Dr Nguyen.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at Centre dentaire Mont-Royal?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nguyen and the team at Centre dentaire Mont-Royal 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 Nguyen will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
