Services
Family Dentistry
Our comprehensive family dental services cater to patients of all ages, from routine cleanings and exams to restorative treatments. We focus on preventive care through regular checkups, digital X-rays, and personalized oral hygiene instruction. Our team creates comfortable experiences for children while addressing complex dental needs in adults, ensuring lifelong oral health maintenance for entire families.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide urgent care for dental trauma, infections, and severe pain with same-day appointment availability. Our team handles knocked-out teeth, fractures, abscesses, and damaged restorations using advanced techniques to relieve discomfort and prevent complications. Patients receive immediate phone guidance before visits, with treatment prioritizing infection control and structural repairs to preserve natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and professional teeth whitening services. Our cosmetic treatments address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections while maintaining natural function. We offer complimentary consultations to create customized treatment plans that enhance aesthetics and boost patient confidence through improved dental appearance.
Invisalign Braces
Straighten teeth discreetly with Invisalign's removable clear aligners for teens and adults. This orthodontic solution corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces. Custom treatment plans use sequential aligners to gradually reposition teeth, offering improved oral hygiene access and comfort compared to conventional orthodontic appliances during the 12-18 month average treatment duration.
Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with permanent dental implants that mimic natural tooth structure and function. Titanium posts fuse with jawbone tissue to provide stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This solution prevents bone loss, maintains facial structure, and allows normal eating patterns while offering superior aesthetics and longevity compared to traditional replacement options.

I have been a patient at Cochrane Dental Centre for a number of years. Due to a few traumatic childhood dental visits, going to the dentist has never been pleasant experience. Im happy to say that is not the case here at Cochrane Dental and thats due to great people that work in the office.
Im always greeted with a warm smile and a hello from the ladies at the front desk all the way to the staff and Drs in the treatment rooms. During all my visits, an explanation of the treatment to be completed has always been given and updated regularly during the process helping lower my level of anxiety

Thank you to Dr. Darrag and staff who were so accommodating recently when I was suffering from tooth pain which eventually required a root canal. They all went out of their way to ensure that I was able to get the needed appointments in a timely manner. Our family has been going to Cochrane Dental Centre since we moved to Cochrane 21 years ago. We have had many appointments with Dr. Sawka over the years, as well as appointments with the dental hygienists for cleanings and have always had a positive experience. One of the things that I most appreciate is the genuine friendliness of the staff and
