At Clinique Le Dentalis, 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 Phan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Phan understands that dealing 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 be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, helping patients comfortably get back to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile and feeling their best.
• If a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about has unfortunately put no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Phan works closely with patients towards attaining their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• If experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Phan develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding with Dr Phan's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain once more.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Phan at Clinique Le Dentalis?

At your initial appointment, Dr Phan and the team at Clinique Le Dentalis 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 Phan will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Phan offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Phan focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Phan 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 if offered). Dr Phan also educates on oral hygiene and refers 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. 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 Phan 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 Phan?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Le Dentalis directly to arrange their visit with Dr Phan.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Phan 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). Following Dr Phan's specific recommendation is important.

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 and check private dental insurance details before treatment.
