At Dentistes Val des Brises, 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 Dogbé frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods, involves working systematically towards being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing. Dr Dogbé expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health.
• Effectively addressing their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth with Dr Dogbé's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing and social interactions.
• 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 Dogbé and the dental team. The clear aim is always their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Dr Dogbé understands that dealing with needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, helping patients comfortably get back to confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity and feeling their best.

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

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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Dentistes Val des Brises.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Dogbé help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Dogbé can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dogbé 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.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dogbé at Dentistes Val des Brises?

At your initial appointment, Dr Dogbé and the team at Dentistes Val des Brises 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 Dogbé 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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dogbé 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).

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Dogbé will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Dogbé's specific recommendation.
