At CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU, 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 Morneau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Morneau to see patients who were troubled by wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances successfully achieve their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.
• Are you struggling with experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits? Dr Morneau partners with patients to target their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding a much more achievable reality.
• Dr Morneau often consults with patients whose an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Patients presenting with their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation under Dr Morneau's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Morneau is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr Morneau also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Morneau 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).

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 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 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 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Morneau at CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 Morneau will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to see a general dentist. You can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Morneau.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Morneau help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Morneau can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Morneau will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

What is CENTRE DENTAIRE NGUYEN MORNEAU's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We request at least 24 business hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed appointments, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50.
