At Atelier Prostho, 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 Chea frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr Chea's professional help and expertise when dealing with a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty.
• Effectively addressing an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching with Dr Chea's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions and social interactions.
• 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 Chea helps patients strive for gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion. This makes participating in activities such as confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming at Dr Chea's practice is consistently achieving their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile.

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

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

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 any potential 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 Chea 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 Chea at Atelier Prostho?

Your first visit with Dr Chea 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 Chea 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.

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 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). 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 Atelier Prostho.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Chea 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). Following Dr Chea's specific recommendation is essential.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Chea 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr Chea can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr Chea can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
