At Clinique dentaire Dre Martine Buron, 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 Raymond frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth, Dr Raymond and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause and a return to comfort and confidence.
• When experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Raymond helps patients strive for their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This makes participating in activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Managing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Raymond and the dental team. The clear aim is always a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• A key objective when treating a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal at Dr Raymond's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.

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

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Raymond 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 Raymond?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Dre Martine Buron directly to arrange their visit with Dr Raymond.

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 the 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Dre Martine Buron.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Raymond will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Raymond's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Raymond at Clinique dentaire Dre Martine Buron?

Your first visit with Dr Raymond 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 Raymond will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
