At Clinique Dentaire Prieur & Benko, 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 Benko frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy), Dr Benko outlines a path to their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth.
• When persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling more outgoing and engaging in conversations more readily, Dr Benko and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Benko with concerns about a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment, making a positive and lasting return to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them not just possible, but highly feasible.
• If recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit has unfortunately put their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Benko works closely with patients towards attaining achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Benko is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, and bridges.

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). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups such as children from low-income families or seniors receiving specific benefits. Patients should verify their eligibility for any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Prieur & Benko directly to arrange their visit with Dr Benko.

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 necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Benko will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Benko will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 for active gum disease or high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Benko at Clinique Dentaire Prieur & Benko?

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