Dr. Cote has treated my family of four for 15 years. He and his staff have provided EXCELLENT dental care and customer service. Among the four of us, we have had several fillings, a handful of crowns, and years of routine checkups. Dr. Cote has been the same professional, kind, and cost-saving dentist I've known since I first walked into his office. Dental work can be very expensive, and rightfully so, especially when one considers how perfect a fit needs to be whether it be a filling or a mouthguard or a crown. That being said, Dr. Cote only advises fillings and crowns whenever absolutely needed to preserve patients' long-term dental health. Dr. Cote earned my trust 15 years ago and I'm delighted to refer him because he is an exceptional dentist and an exceptional person.

Dr. Cote is not only a nice person but his dental work is outstanding. My new crown fit like a glove and it was a totally painless experience. He always is on time and very congenial. I always leave with a smile on my face.
