At Chez Mon Dentiste, 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 Deveau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Deveau with concerns about concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly. 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 feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle not just possible, but highly feasible.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Deveau about experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple is to attain their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• When patients discuss needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect, Dr Deveau outlines a path to their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Patients presenting with experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy under Dr Deveau's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Chez Mon Dentiste directly to arrange their visit with Dr Deveau.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Deveau is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Deveau also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers 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 QC, provincial health plans like RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

What is Chez Mon Dentiste's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Deveau. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. We appreciate your cooperation.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr Deveau will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Deveau at Chez Mon Dentiste?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth and gums, and any necessary X-rays. Dr Deveau will discuss their findings and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning may also be performed.
