What to Look for When Choosing a Dentist
Choosing a new dentist can be scary. We feel certain qualities make this choice easier. Beyond the referral from a trusted friend or relative, you should expect certain standards of care and service from a quality focused dentist.
Standards of care that you should consider:
- Experience and qualifications of the dentist and the staff
- Thorough and complete treatments done in an unhurried and relaxed atmosphere
- State of the art technology to unsure the most modern procedures and long lasting results
- Absolute cleanliness and hygiene standards to ensure your safety
- Appointments available within a reasonable time frame (2-3 weeks) and the office running on a reliable schedule
- Assistants with financial and insurance questions and open discussions of procedures and fees
- An entire staff that welcomes you at every visit and recognizes that there is a person attached to the teeth
