- Patients presenting with feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause under Dr Chassé's experienced care.

- The primary focus for patients seeking help for a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr Chassé's practice is consistently achieving feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction.

- For those affected by a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them, Dr Chassé provides solutions that lead to their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.

- We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Chassé. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care.

- What payment options are available at CENTRE DENTAIRE DES PATRIOTES for dental services?
- Payment is typically due at the time services are provided. CENTRE DENTAIRE DES PATRIOTES accepts cash, debit, Visa, and MasterCard. We are also experienced in handling claims for most private dental insurance plans. For details on payment plans for larger treatments, please speak with our administrative staff.
- 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 Chassé 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 Chassé?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Chassé for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE DES PATRIOTES.
- 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Chassé for a check-up and cleaning?
- Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Chassé 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). Follow Dr Chassé's specific recommendation.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Chassé typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Chassé is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Chassé at CENTRE DENTAIRE DES PATRIOTES?
- Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of medical and dental history, thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays. Dr Chassé will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
