Achieving Your Oral Health & Smile Goals with Dr. Jeannotte
As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Jeannotte is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Dr. Neville Brodie Jeannotte's practice, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:
- Dr. Jeannotte often consults with patients whose their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention significantly limits their enjoyment of being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve feeling confident in their ability to maintain excellent oral hygiene at home with improved techniques and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
- If their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Jeannotte develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day.
- If their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli has unfortunately put concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Jeannotte works closely with patients towards attaining receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orthodontist with Dr. Jeannotte in Burnaby
- 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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jeannotte 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 from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?
- While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Jeannotte identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Jeannotte for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, every 6 months is generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Jeannotte 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). Follow Dr. Jeannotte's specific recommendation.
- How long does orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces, Invisalign®) usually take with Dr. Jeannotte?
- Treatment time varies greatly depending on case complexity, patient age, appliance type, and patient compliance. Average treatment can range from 12-36 months. Dr. Jeannotte will provide a personalized estimate after a comprehensive orthodontic assessment.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Jeannotte?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Jeannotte.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jeannotte at the clinic?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Jeannotte and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Jeannotte will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- What payment options are available at the clinic for dental services?
- The clinic accepts cash, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and sometimes American Express. They also work with many private dental insurance plans. Discuss specific payment arrangements and insurance details with the administrative team prior to treatment. Payment is generally expected at the time of service.
- Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?
- In BC, provincial health plans (like MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
