How to Choose a Family Dentist
One of the most important decisions you can make for your family’s health is the selection of a family dentist. A person’s oral health impacts his or her overall health, self-esteem, and confidence level.
Finding the Right Family Dentist
If you are searching for a family dentist, consider asking potential candidates these questions during your research:
- How many years has the dentist been practicing?
- What is the level of dental training? Has post-graduate training been completed, and if so, what advanced dentistry techniques is the dentist trained to perform?
- What dental technology is used?
- What types of procedures are offered?
- Are cosmetic dentistry procedures offered?
- Are before-and-after photos of past patients available?
- Is sedation dentistry offered? If so, what types of sedation are available?
- How does the dentist handle dental emergencies? Is after-hour care available if needed?
- Can you meet some of the members of the dental team?
- Does the dentist have any special accommodations for children or older adults?
Some patients come to a family dentist with few or no dental problems. Others come bearing the burden of major dental problems that require a series of procedures to get the patient’s teeth and gums healthy. And others simply want that “red carpet” smile that can only be achieved through cosmetic dentistry procedures.
I always thought the first thing people noticed about me was my smile. But for all the wrong reasons! I had a huge gap between my front teeth and it always bothered me. I thought I would need braces and it would take forever to fix. I was so wrong about that. Dr. Lee showed me how veneers could completely correct my problem in just 3 visits. Now I have a beautiful smile and it’s had quite an impact on my life. I am so much more confident now. Maybe my smile is still the first thing people notice about me. But now it’s a good thing. What a difference this had made in my life.
