Are you looking for a dental office that you can call home? Not all that long ago, it wasn’t uncommon to see the same dentist from childhood through well into adulthood. As a dentist in Columbia, our goal is to establish that same kind of life-long relationship with all of our patients. We know the qualities that our patients appreciate in a dental office, so we wanted to write a blog about how you can find the right fit from the start.
So if you’ve been searching for a great dentist for everyone in the family, keep reading to learn about what you should look for!
Multiple Dentists Under One Roof
There are several advantages to having access to more than one dentist under one roof. For example, office hours are expanded so that you can more easily get care when it’s convenient for you.
Also, you get the benefit of each dentist’s particular area of expertise. Having a team of experts available is always preferable to just one!
Modern Technology and Equipment
Dentistry has come a long way in recent years. Why not take advantage of new technology that means a more comfortable and efficient experience for you?
Here are some examples of what you want to look for:
- Digital x-rays – Faster, more comfortable, with significantly less radiation, digital x-rays offer a lot of advantages over the old-fashioned kind.
- Sedation – In our office, we offer three different levels of sedation so that even the most phobic patient can get dental care – anxiety free!
- Digital Impressions – With this equipment, you won’t have to deal with messy, uncomfortable impressions anymore. Since this technology is computer-assisted, we still get incredibly accurate impressions without having to put trays of “goop” in your mouth.
Convenience
In today’s busy world, being able to schedule quickly and conveniently goes a long way! You’ll appreciate an office with extended office hours so you don’t have to interrupt busy days at work or school to get dental care.
In addition, you’ll also want to look for an office that can handle your billing and insurance quickly and efficiently.
Emergency Dentistry
If you or a family member has a dental emergency after hours or on a weekend, you’ll feel better knowing that you’ll have access to care. In many cases, time is of the essence! The sooner you can be seen, the better the treatment outcome.
Gentle and Compassionate Care
In an ideal office, comfortable cleanings, a gentle touch and caring staff will all come together to make dental care as easy as possible.
Also, make sure that your dentist and their staff make the effort to understand your concerns from the start.
When it’s all said and done, you’ll be glad you took the time to find the right office. A little research beforehand means you’ll enjoy a lifetime of great dental care!
