At CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO, 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 Hsu frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• With Dr Hsu's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly is focused on achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing without dental concerns.
• The journey from having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard to wellness often involves Dr Hsu's dedicated care. The milestone is their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about at Dr Hsu's practice is consistently achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as maintaining a youthful appearance complemented by a healthy and attractive smile.
• Effectively addressing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem with Dr Hsu's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and social interactions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO directly to arrange their visit with Dr Hsu.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Hsu. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Hsu might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hsu at CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO?

At your initial appointment, Dr Hsu and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO 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 Hsu will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE QUINCO.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. Dr Hsu will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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). Follow Dr Hsu's specific recommendation.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Hsu typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Hsu 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.
