At CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL, 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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed is a common journey for patients under Dr Nguyen's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, so that daily routines and pleasures like their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post become straightforward again.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, involves working systematically towards achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover. Dr Nguyen expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath, Dr Nguyen offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• When their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought, Dr Nguyen and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nguyen 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 Nguyen also educates on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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 always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL.

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

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

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 Nguyen 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 Nguyen at CENTRE DENTAIRE MONT ROYAL?

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

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Nguyen 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 Nguyen's specific recommendation.
