At Go Orthodontistes, 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 Go frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Go helps patients strive for no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Go when they first notice a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, enabling them to once again enjoy their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort without hesitation.
• Dr Go's comprehensive care for a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing is meticulously designed to result in a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health without dental worries.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals with Dr Go's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped once more.

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

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 the 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Go Orthodontistes.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Go 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 Go?

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Go at Go Orthodontistes?

At your initial appointment, Dr Go and the team at Go Orthodontistes 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 Go will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Go will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 Go's specific recommendation.
