Dr. Cole Archambault’s treatment philosophy centers on taking the time to explain all treatment options to his patients and fully discuss the benefits of each option. His approach emphasizes saving teeth whenever possible, but he is also happy to use state-of-the-art implant restorations to replace teeth when needed.

‘‘This is the first time in my life I have never been afraid of the dentist! No anxiety no matter what the procedure! Everything is explained thoroughly and the delivery is with an amazing chair side manner! Dr. Cole Archambault is literally the best!” - Patient S.W.
‘‘Dr. Cole was my dentist and was very personable and professional. Dr. Cole did a complete inspection of my teeth and explained on the x-ray screen which areas should be treated. I scheduled a follow-up appointment to have a cavity fixed with Dr. Cole and have complete confidence in his work. My wife has had work done also with Dr. Cole and felt very comfortable and stated she so happy that we switched over to this great dentist office.”’’
