Oracare Dentist Downtown Dentiste Montreal ★9.9

Seven operatories downtown, and room kept for same-day emergencies

Oracare is not a two-chair practice: it is a ground-floor clinic in the heart of Ville-Marie, a short walk from Concordia and McGill, with seven operatories running in parallel. That capacity is what makes it possible to hold slots for same-day emergencies. The founder, Dr Youssef (Joseph) Coussa, a graduate of the Université de Montréal, trained in implantology at the Misch International Implant Institute and the California Implant Institute.

Treatments and services

General dentistry: oral examination with cleaning, oral cancer screening, fillings, root canal therapy, periodontics, gum grafting. Surgery: wisdom teeth and implants. Crowns, veneers, bridges, partial and complete dentures. Orthodontics with Invisalign aligners and clear braces, for adults and teenagers alike. Whitening. And the preventive work everyone postpones: sealants, fluoride, night guards, sports mouthguards.

Technology and comfort

Digital radiography, fully paperless records, recent equipment in every room. Conscious sedation is meant for people who have been avoiding the chair for years: it is often the route by which anxious patients come back to care at all. Ground-floor wheelchair access, a waiting room designed to bring the tension down, extended hours built around an office schedule, direct billing to insurers.

The team

Around Dr Joseph Coussa: Dr Nathalie Coussa, Dr Karim AbouElenin, Dr Muhammad Al Hayyani, Dr Leslie Laloum. Dr Coussa concentrates his practice on root canal therapy, wisdom teeth and implants; he is a member of the Ordre des dentistes du Québec and the Canadian Dental Association. What patients keep coming back to: every step is explained before it is done, and nobody feels rushed.

Who it suits

Students and staff from the downtown universities, office workers fitting a visit between two meetings, newcomers looking for a first dentist in Montreal, and anyone who wakes up with pain that will not wait.
