At CENTRE DENTAIRE & IMPLANTOLOGIE MARTIN HOGUE, 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 Hogue frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is a primary concern, Dr Hogue focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• Dr Hogue's comprehensive care for their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably is meticulously designed to result in the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post without dental worries.
• Dr Hogue often consults with patients whose a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially significantly limits their enjoyment of their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Dr Hogue provides dedicated support for patients going through their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed, always aiming for positive outcomes like experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hogue at CENTRE DENTAIRE & IMPLANTOLOGIE MARTIN HOGUE?

Your first visit with Dr Hogue will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes 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 Hogue will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Hogue 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Hogue for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE & IMPLANTOLOGIE MARTIN HOGUE.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Hogue will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. For example, some patients 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 Dr Hogue's specific recommendation.

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). 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE & IMPLANTOLOGIE MARTIN HOGUE.
