At CENTRE DENTAIRE NADIA BERGHAM INC., 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 Bergham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options is a common journey for patients under Dr Bergham's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, so that daily routines and pleasures like confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures become straightforward again.
• Dr Bergham provides dedicated support for patients going through their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing, always aiming for positive outcomes like their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.
• Through Dr Bergham's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional often find they can readily achieve being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing at Dr Bergham's practice is consistently achieving their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

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

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Bergham offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

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

A General Dentist like Dr Bergham 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 if offered). Dr Bergham also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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 Bergham 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).

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

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bergham at CENTRE DENTAIRE NADIA BERGHAM INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Bergham and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE NADIA BERGHAM INC. 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 Bergham will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE NADIA BERGHAM INC..
