The Lapointe dental centre welcomes residents of the Outaouais, from prevention to the most complex care. Founded in 1987, the network has 30 centres across Quebec and welcomes many patients a year.

 

Your dental clinic in Gatineau

The Gatineau Dental Centre is located at 520 B, boulevard de l’Hôpital, directly across from the hospital. Parking is free, and the main entrance makes access easier for patients with reduced mobility.

Opening hours appear in the centre’s listing, which is updated continuously. This dental clinic welcomes children and adults in French, English and Arabic, and belongs to a network of dental centres.

 

The dental services offered in Gatineau

The centre brings together 5 dental services to care for the whole family: general and family, cosmetic and functional, implantology, denturology, and orthodontics. Patients in the Hull sector are also seen by our dentists in Hull.

 

General and Family Dentistry

General and family care protects oral health day to day and makes it possible to act before a dental problem gets worse. These general dentistry treatments include:

  • The dental exam and cleaning, which complete the work done at home with a toothbrush and dental floss.
  • Filling a cavity, before cavities can damage the tooth deep down.
  • Root canal treatment, which removes the infected pulp from the tooth.
  • Extraction, when wisdom teeth harm the neighbouring teeth.
  • Gum treatments, for gingivitis and periodontitis and the gum graft if bacteria have caused the soft tissue to recede.
  • The occlusal splint, which protects the bite from bruxism.

 

Cosmetic and Functional Dentistry

Cosmetic dental treatments restore the shape and function of the teeth: teeth whitening, veneers, and crowns. Treatment options depend on the condition of your enamel and your gums.

 

Implantology

Our professionals place the dental implants that replace 1 or more missing teeth. Anchored in the jawbone, each implant restores chewing and keeps the neighbouring natural teeth from shifting.

 

Denturology

When several teeth are missing, the denturologist makes a custom dental prosthesis. These prostheses fall into 2 groups:

  • The removable prosthesis: complete when a jaw has no teeth left, partial when some teeth remain.
  • The implant-supported restoration: anchored in the bone for a fixed hold.

 

Orthodontics: braces and Invisalign invisible aligners

Traditional braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign invisible aligners correct the position of the teeth and the jaw. Follow-up continues over several months and leads to a better aligned smile, which limits wear on the teeth.

 

Why entrust your oral health to the Lapointe dental centre in Gatineau?

The team at the Lapointe dental centre brings together qualified professionals and a range of services. Added to that are the network’s technologies, several ways to pay for your care, and a warm welcome.

 

Qualified professionals who are members of the Ordre des dentistes du Québec

The dentists in the Lapointe network are members of this order and take the continuing education required by advances in dental medicine. Cleanings are handled by the dental hygienist and prostheses by the denturologist, members of our team governed by their own professional order.

 

A full range of dental services under one roof

Bringing family care, prostheses, and alignment together in one place avoids back-and-forth trips between several offices. An implant need identified during an exam does not force the patient to change dental teams.

 

State-of-the-art technology

The Lapointe network keeps its technology at the leading edge. Digital radiography lowers the radiation dose, the intraoral scanner replaces conventional impressions, and the 3D scanner measures bone density before an implant is placed.

 

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and payment options

The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers part of the cost for eligible people, and the team confirms your coverage before presenting treatments. 

The CDCP covers part of the fees. Co-payments may apply based on your percentage of coverage, and the difference from the professional’s fee schedule (balance billing) remains the patient’s responsibility.

 

 

Frequently asked questions about dental care in Gatineau

Is the centre accepting new patients?

Yes, the Gatineau dental clinic welcomes new patients, with no age limit. A first complete oral examination, accompanied by an X-ray if needed, is used to take stock of your oral hygiene before a suitable care plan is proposed.

How do you get there by public transit?

Société de transport de l’Outaouais routes 61 and 65 stop at the centre’s door. These 2 lines serve boulevard de l’Hôpital, so you can get to the dentist without a car. The STO publishes their schedules, which are worth checking before you travel.

What should you do in a dental emergency?

Reach the team at 514-527-6468 at the first symptoms of a dental emergency. Sharp pain, a broken tooth, or an abscess call for prompt attention, since early treatment limits infection and the risk to the tooth. Describe your symptoms over the phone, and the team then assesses how urgent it is.
