At Pierre Comeau Dentiste 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 Comeau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments, Dr Comeau and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Comeau to see patients who were troubled by simply needing a routine, comprehensive dental check-up and a thorough professional cleaning successfully achieve a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• If an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath has unfortunately put attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Comeau works closely with patients towards attaining their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• For patients where an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention is a primary concern, Dr Comeau focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Comeau 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Comeau's specific recommendation.
