At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PRESTIGE 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 Vraykova frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Are you struggling with concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history? Dr Vraykova partners with patients to target a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity a much more achievable reality.
• Patients presenting with recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth under Dr Vraykova's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Effectively addressing a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile with Dr Vraykova's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication and social interactions.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment at Dr Vraykova's practice is consistently achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Vraykova 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Vraykova also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Vraykova at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PRESTIGE INC.?

Your first visit with Dr Vraykova will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of 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 Vraykova will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PRESTIGE INC. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Vraykova.

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 minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Vraykova 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).

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 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. 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 before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PRESTIGE INC..

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Vraykova offer any sedation options?

Dr Vraykova and our team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PRESTIGE INC. are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. Please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Vraykova. They can explore various comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides sedation services.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Vraykova will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's essential to follow Dr Vraykova's specific recommendations.
