What to Look for in a Dentist

If you are planning on finding a dentist Sydney, then you may want to consider various factors: location, opening times, qualifications of the staff, cost and reviews, to name but a few of the things up for researching. A search engine results list may not be enough to satisfy you when it comes to committing your oral health to the hands of a dentist. 

Here are some tips on what to consider when looking for your dentist match!

Location
When it comes to finding the right dental practice, you may want to consider if it is close to local transport links or car parking. You may also want to find out if it is close to your workplace so that you can pop in during your lunch break, rather than having to take time off work to visit and receive treatment.

Experience
Checking out a dental practice’s website can be a useful way of discovering whether or not they have been awarded any accolades for the work that they do. An Invisalign provider, for example, can be awarded a Platinum status for their work in realigning mild to moderate alignment issues. Practices receive this award by meeting high standards and treating over 150 cases a month, so you can be sure that they have the experience and expertise you require to receive the treatment you want. 

Recommendations
If you don’t know anybody in the area you can ask for personal recommendations, why not check out reviews online? Some websites will detail the reviews they have had on their own websites, and you may also find these ratings via a search engine as well. It is well worth doing your homework to get a feel for the pros and cons of a dental practice.

Visit the practice
If you have shortlisted some dental practices that you are interested in going to, why not pay them a visit and check out what sort of a feeling you get as you walk into the building. Consider if you like the environment in the waiting room - is it clean and modern? Do you get greeted by friendly staff, or is the atmosphere a little fraught? If so, do you think this would bode well for the rest of the practice? Receptionists should set the tone for the practice’s ethos. You could also book in for an initial consultation to discuss your specific requirements with a dentist. They will examine your mouth and they should listen to your concerns, before offering you treatment options. During this time, be sure to quiz them about how they handle things like dental phobia (if you are a nervous patient), or clear up any questions about the treatments offered if you don’t fully understand already. They should be happy and willing to take the time to ensure that you are fully apprised of what would be involved in any treatments.

Treatments
Whether you require general dentistry or something more specific, you need to find out if the treatments you may need are offered at the practice. Their website should detail the treatments on offer and while you may only require general dentistry, for example, consider whether or not you need to think about the future as well, so you don’t need to go anywhere else. A practice offering dental implants, for example, may not be what you need right now, but could be useful if you have an accident or lose teeth in the future due to medications you start to take, for example.

So, the upshot of finding a dentist is to do your homework and make sure that they are the right match for you; it could save you time in the long-run.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
