At DR NICOLAS COHEN, 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 Cohen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Cohen and the dental team. The clear aim is always receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially is a common journey for patients under Dr Cohen's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance become straightforward again.
• Dr Cohen understands that dealing with waking up frequently with a sore jaw, facial muscle tenderness, or tension headaches, possibly from teeth grinding can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, helping patients comfortably get back to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain and feeling their best.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to at Dr Cohen's practice is consistently achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

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

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Cohen 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 Cohen?

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Cohen at DR NICOLAS COHEN?

At your initial appointment, Dr Cohen and the team at DR NICOLAS COHEN 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 Cohen 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 Cohen typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Cohen 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 if offered). Dr Cohen also educates on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Cohen 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 Cohen's specific recommendation.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Cohen offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Cohen focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at DR NICOLAS COHEN.
