A thorough clinical examination
A dental consultation is the essential first step in assessing your oral health. At Cabinet Côté Gare, we carry out a complete examination that includes the teeth, gums, occlusion and soft tissues. Low-dose digital X-rays may complement the diagnosis. This assessment helps detect cavities, periodontal problems or other conditions early, and allows us to draw up a personalised treatment plan with you.
A tailored treatment plan
At the end of the consultation, we take the time to explain in detail any recommended treatments, the options available and the associated costs. Our approach is transparent: a written quote is given to you before any major treatment, in line with the Dentotar tariff. We are here to answer all your questions and to support you calmly in your decisions.
