At Centre de santé buccodentaire Bocarmonie, 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 Boguta frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities at Dr Boguta's practice is consistently achieving their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• If their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling has unfortunately put their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Boguta works closely with patients towards attaining their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For individuals troubled by a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection, Dr Boguta's approach is focused on delivering their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem with a healthier smile.
• For patients where a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation is a primary concern, Dr Boguta focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

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

A General Dentist like Dr Boguta 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 dental sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, bridges, and basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth). Dr Boguta also performs simple extractions and provides initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. In addition to these services, Dr Boguta educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential 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 Centre de santé buccodentaire Bocarmonie.

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 diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Boguta 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 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 general health. Dr Boguta can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Boguta can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Boguta will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 may have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Boguta's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre de santé buccodentaire Bocarmonie directly to arrange their visit with Dr Boguta.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boguta at Centre de santé buccodentaire Bocarmonie?

At your initial appointment, Dr Boguta and the team at Centre de santé buccodentaire Bocarmonie will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Boguta will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
