At PARODONTIE IMPLANTOLOGIE LEBOURGNEUF, 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 Roussy frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider, Dr Roussy provides solutions that lead to the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• A key objective when treating a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing at Dr Roussy's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their dentures fitting much more comfortably and securely, improving their ability to eat and speak. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.

This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.

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

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

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

However, Dr Roussy will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Roussy at PARODONTIE IMPLANTOLOGIE LEBOURGNEUF?

At your initial appointment, Dr Roussy and the team at PARODONTIE IMPLANTOLOGIE LEBOURGNEUF 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 Roussy will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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 usually 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at PARODONTIE IMPLANTOLOGIE LEBOURGNEUF.
