At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDEAUX JEAN-TALON, 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 Tang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Tang when they first notice feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends without hesitation.
• Patients presenting with recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach under Dr Tang's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect with Dr Tang's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding once more.
• With Dr Tang's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is focused on achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain without dental concerns.

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

We also work with many private dental insurance plans. Please discuss specific payment arrangements and insurance details with our administrative team prior to your treatment.

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

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDEAUX JEAN-TALON offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

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 minimize any potential exposure further. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Tang 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tang at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDEAUX JEAN-TALON?

Your first visit with Dr Tang 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 Tang 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Tang 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, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Tang's specific recommendation is key.

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 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 or government assistance programs for eligible groups. It is strongly advised to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tang 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.
