At Dentisterie et denturologie urbanova 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 Boies frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine or causing discomfort, Dr Boies offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about is a common journey for patients under Dr Boies's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile become straightforward again.
• A key objective when treating their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr Boies's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• Dr Boies understands that dealing with experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, helping patients comfortably get back to travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies and feeling their best.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Boies, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Boies 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 Boies?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dentisterie et denturologie urbanova inc directly to arrange their visit with Dr Boies.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Boies 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boies at Dentisterie et denturologie urbanova inc?

At your initial appointment, Dr Boies and the team at Dentisterie et denturologie urbanova 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 Boies will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is important 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 Dentisterie et denturologie urbanova inc.
