At Centre dentaire Delongchamp, 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 Morin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly with Dr Morin's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of feeling a renewed sense of confidence in their smile and overall appearance, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and social interactions.
• For individuals troubled by concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr Morin's approach is focused on delivering the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard with a healthier smile.
• When their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Morin helps patients strive for their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment. This makes participating in activities such as attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped a pleasant and possible experience again.
• A key objective when treating a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them at Dr Morin's welcoming dental clinic is achieving experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Morin 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 Morin?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Morin for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Delongchamp.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Morin at Centre dentaire Delongchamp?

At your initial appointment, Dr Morin and the team at Centre dentaire Delongchamp 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 Morin 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 Morin for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Morin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Morin's specific recommendation is crucial.

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 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). 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 before starting treatment at Centre dentaire Delongchamp.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Morin 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.
