At HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL, 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 Côté frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple is preventing you from fully enjoying attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped or causing discomfort, Dr Côté offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances, involves working systematically towards their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots. Dr Côté expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• If a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food has unfortunately put their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Côté works closely with patients towards attaining the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Through Dr Côté's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard often find they can readily achieve having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions.

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

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Côté will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 Côté's specific recommendation.

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 (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Côté is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Côté at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL?

At your first appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental issues/goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Côté will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
