At Clinique dentaire René Vaillancourt Inc., 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 Grenier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Grenier's clinic, addressing needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) means focusing on patient goals. Achieving feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history at Dr Grenier's practice is consistently achieving a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• Many people seek Dr Grenier's professional help and expertise when dealing with a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Are you struggling with a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable? Dr Grenier partners with patients to target their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations a much more achievable reality.

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Grenier will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's crucial to follow Dr Grenier's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan complex treatments. Dr Grenier will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

They offer a wide range of services including 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 offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Check your private dental insurance coverage details and consider any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment.
