Centre dentaire Vadeboncoeur Book an Appointment

Your first dental appointment
in Gatineau

Welcome to Centre dentaire Vadeboncoeur

Have you chosen Centre dentaire Vadeboncoeur in Gatineau to take care of your dental health? Welcome.

A first visit allows us to get to know each other, to better understand your general and oral health, and to build a picture of your situation.

Whether you have always kept up with your regular check-ups or your last dental visit was a few years ago, our approach is the same: to welcome you without judgment, to listen to you and to clearly explain what we observe.

We are accepting new patients.

What to expect at your first visit?

Your first appointment is above all an opportunity to get to know our team and to discuss what brings you to the clinic.

If we notice something that requires care, we take the time to explain what we have found and the options that can be considered.

Clear explanations so that you can make informed decisions.

Depending on your situation and your needs, your visit may include:

  • A review of your medical and dental history form
  • A discussion of your medical and dental history
  • An examination of your teeth and gums
  • A general assessment of your oral health
  • X-rays, when necessary
  • A discussion of your concerns or your goals
  • Your dentist’s recommendations and the next steps, if any
Getting ready

Before your appointment

Allow a few extra minutes

For a first visit, we need to collect certain information in order to create your file and allow our team to properly understand your health.

If the forms have not been completed before your appointment, plan to arrive a few minutes early so that you have enough time to fill them out.

Prepare your medical information

Your general health can influence your dental care. It is therefore important to give us complete, up-to-date medical information.

Before your appointment, make sure you know:

  • The medications you are currently taking
  • Your known allergies
  • Your current or past health conditions that are relevant
  • Any significant surgeries or hospital stays
  • The contact information of your doctor or of other health professionals, where relevant
  • Any recent change in your health

Feel free to bring your list of medications if that makes things easier.

This information allows your dentist to better understand your health and to plan your care safely.

Transferring a dental record to the new clinic

Did you have another dentist?

If you have recently changed dental clinics, some items from your previous file may be useful to our team, in particular recent X-rays.

Contact us before your first visit to find out which documents should be transferred and how to go about it.

This can give your dentist access to relevant information about your dental history and avoid unnecessarily repeating certain X-rays when they are still adequate.

Tell us what is on your mind

Your first visit is not only about examining your teeth. It is also the right time to tell us what concerns you or what you would like to improve.

A sensitive tooth? Bleeding gums? An old restoration that worries you? Would you like to improve your smile? Do you feel anxious about going to the dentist? Tell us.

The better we understand your needs and your concerns, the better we can adapt our approach.

Nervous about going back to the dentist?

You are certainly not the only person who feels apprehensive before a dental visit.

Simply mention it to our team. We will take the time to explain what we are doing and to answer your questions as your appointment goes along.

And if your last visit was a long time ago, that is no problem. What matters is simply starting to take care of your oral health again.

After your exam

Following the assessment, your dentist explains what they have observed. If no particular problem is found, our team can advise you on how often to come in for follow-up visits, based on your oral health.

If care is recommended, we will walk you through the different stages and the options that may be appropriate for your situation. You will also have the chance to ask your questions before making a decision.

Understanding your care is part of your care.
