At Centre Dentaire Place Portobello, 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 Brodeur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation? Dr Brodeur partners with patients to target a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health a much more achievable reality.
• When a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions, Dr Brodeur and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option and a return to comfort and confidence.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene, involves working systematically towards their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. Dr Brodeur expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.
• Dr Brodeur's comprehensive care for a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain is meticulously designed to result in experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos without dental worries.

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Brodeur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or are at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Brodeur's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Brodeur 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 Brodeur typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Brodeur is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Brodeur also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Dr Brodeur focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 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's essential 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 Place Portobello.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brodeur at Centre Dentaire Place Portobello?

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 Brodeur will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

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