Meet the Orthodontist

Dr. Côté grew up in the Gatineau-Ottawa region, where he was 9 years old. Dr. Côté received his high school degree from Grande-Rivière High School in 1996 and completed his collegiate training at CÉGEP de l’Outaouais thereafter. His capital to become an orthodontist involved memorable experiences living in the continent, he chose to become a member of the National Capital Region.

In 1998, Dr. Côté moved to Montreal at McGill University. He excelled in this field of study and received several important honors:

• Named to the Dean’s Honor List each year of the program;

In 2004, Dr. Côté returned home to Gatineau where he worked as a general dentist in the private sector for three years. He devoted much of his practice to the treatment of patients who were fearful of dental procedures, and he received pediatric referrals from his colleagues as a general dentist. Despite being passionate about all areas of dentistry, Dr. Côté developed a special fondness for orthodontics, and he therefore made it difficult to achieve orthodontic orthodontics.
