When you're new to town, finding new healthcare providers may feel daunting. Today, we're offering helpful tips on finding a new dentist your family can trust and rely on.
#1 Ask Friends and Neighbors
Talking with friends and neighbors in your new community can help you find trusted healthcare providers who may be close to your area. These referrals and recommendations can help you narrow down the right care for your family.
#2 Consult Online Reviews
Browse online reviews to see what other patients experienced at your prospective provider's dental office. For a more unbiased perspective, be sure to check sources like Google, Yelp, or Facebook.
#3 Book a Consultation
Scheduling an appointment with your prospective providers gives you the opportunity to meet them, gain perspective on their treatment philosophies, and ask questions about their skills and services.
Talking with your prospective dentist is especially helpful if you're considering more complicated treatment procedures, such as dental implants or cosmetic dentistry. Be sure to ask to see before and after photos of their work to ensure their skills can meet your needs.
