At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE PHAM, 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 Pham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma is a primary concern, Dr Pham focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Pham when they first notice their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, enabling them to once again enjoy showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion without hesitation.
• Dr Pham understands that dealing with their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, helping patients comfortably get back to participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard and feeling their best.
• Dr Pham provides dedicated support for patients going through their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation, always aiming for positive outcomes like achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Pham at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE PHAM?

Your first visit with Dr Pham will typically 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 Pham will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 <b>not</b> 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE PHAM.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Pham will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and 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. Following Dr Pham's specific recommendation is essential.

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. 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 Pham 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 Pham typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Pham 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE PHAM directly to arrange their visit with Dr Pham.
