At TGO ORTHODONTIE, 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 Werbitt frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is a common journey for patients under Dr Werbitt's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems become straightforward again.
• Managing their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Werbitt and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child sleeping soundly again after a painful toothache was resolved, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• If a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Werbitt develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy no longer experiencing the embarrassment or discomfort of ill-fitting or noticeable dental work.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly at Dr Werbitt's practice is consistently achieving the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Werbitt is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Werbitt also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good overall health. Dr Werbitt can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to determine your suitability for dental implants. Dr Werbitt can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

Does TGO ORTHODONTIE offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Werbitt will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Werbitt's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Werbitt at TGO ORTHODONTIE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Werbitt and the team at TGO ORTHODONTIE 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 Werbitt 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 Werbitt 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 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). Always check your private dental insurance details and any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.
