Dr. Mark Cohen, BSc, DDS

Dr. Cohen joined the Dawson Dental team in August 2012. In addition to his years of experience, he brought his established family practice to Dawson Dental Scarborough, along with his long-serving dental team.

Dr. Cohen graduated from McGill University with both a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. During his years of dentistry at McGill, Dr. Cohen was active in promoting dental health to the public, lecturing at schools in Montreal, and appearing at career night talks promoting dentistry as a career to graduating high school students.

Following graduation from dental school, Dr. Cohen did a postgraduate rotating Dental Internship at Toronto General Hospital, during which time he was exposed to a tremendously varied dental experience. During that time Dr. Cohen served as a demonstrator at the University of Toronto Shout Clinic, a clinic providing dental services by dental students under the supervision of licensed dentists. After completing his internship Dr. Cohen was in private practice, in which he provided cosmetic, restorative, implant services to his patients.

Dr. Steven Starkman, D.D.S.

Dr. Starkman prides himself on being trustworthy and easy to communicate with. He believes that open communication is key to a successful dentist/patient relationship and that every patient deserves a provider who is compassionate and honest, especially when it comes to dental anxiety. Dental anxiety is very common but with Dr. Starkman’s down-to-earth demeanour and a great sense of humor, it’s hard not to feel at ease in his chair.

He always promises to do whatever he can to relieve any discomfort or fear. Whether it’s through dental sedation, or simply explaining a procedure in-depth, making sure the patient feels in control of their appointment is key to a positive experience.

Over the past 10 years, Dr. Starkman has developed a passion for Crown and Bridge procedures.

He is fluent in English, French, and can even order a small coffee (with milk!) in Spanish.
