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

• If their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession is preventing you from fully enjoying their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life or causing discomfort, Dr Tran offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth, Dr Tran and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Patients experiencing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Tran's practice, a key objective is their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• Many people seek Dr Tran's professional help and expertise when dealing with feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.

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

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Tran 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Tran typically provide?

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Tran will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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's important to follow Dr Tran's specific recommendation.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Tran can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Tran can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

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

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. Check your coverage before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE RACHEL.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Tran for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE RACHEL.
