At LES CENTRES DENTAIRES VIVA, 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. Dre Dreige frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dre Dreige when they first notice their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, enabling them to once again enjoy resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain without hesitation.
• With Dre Dreige's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow is focused on achieving their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance without dental concerns.
• Managing a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dre Dreige and the dental team. The clear aim is always having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Patients experiencing their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dre Dreige's practice, a key objective is their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness.

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dre Dreige 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dre Dreige at LES CENTRES DENTAIRES VIVA?

At your initial appointment, Dre Dreige and the team at LES CENTRES DENTAIRES VIVA 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, Dre Dreige will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dre Dreige?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact LES CENTRES DENTAIRES VIVA directly to arrange their visit with Dre Dreige.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dre Dreige will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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). It is important to follow Dre Dreige's specific recommendation.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is important 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 LES CENTRES DENTAIRES VIVA.
