At Clinique Orosphère, 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 Aubry frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth with Dr Aubry's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and social interactions.
• For those affected by an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options, Dr Aubry provides solutions that lead to their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• If an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Aubry develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• At Dr Aubry's clinic, addressing a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Aubry will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might need visits every three to four months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Aubry's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

Dr Aubry 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.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Clinique Orosphère's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of Clinique Orosphère’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (418) 704-7077. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Aubry or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Québec City area.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Aubry will determine the frequency based on your individual needs 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 Aubry?

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Aubry at Clinique Orosphère?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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 Aubry will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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