Choosing a dentist can be as stressful for some as actually going to the dentist. Below are some suggestions about what to consider when selecting a dentist. We’d also suggest asking a friend or relative or the local branch of the Academy of General Dentistry for a recommendation.
Ask about the extent of the dentist’s training and clinical experience in performing the specific procedure you require. For example, not all dentists are trained in specific cosmetic dentistry procedures. In addition, certain procedures, such as a veneer, may serve both an aesthetic and functional need.
Ask about the type of emergency care offered. For example, is the dentist available after hours and on weekends?
Inquire about patient comforts, such as pre-medication or nitrous oxide, and amenities such as music or heating pads.
Ask about the types of professional dental societies the dentist is affiliated with. Some organizations require dentists to take continuing education classes to keep them up-to-date on the latest procedures and technological advances in the field. Check for societies that require their members to complete ongoing continuing education.
Inquire about the use of dental lasers as an alternative to traditional dental tools such as tooth drilling and scalpels.
We are trained in all aspects of dentistry and have advanced training in cosmetic, sedation, emergency, and implant dentistry.
We work with a team of great dentists. When referring to a specialist, we will help to make the appointment and ensure that costs and dental insurance benefits are coordinated.
We review costs prior to treatment and discuss possible payments. We want your dental care to be affordable . If something ends up being more complicated than anticipated, we will let you know before proceeding or include it in the costs. We don’t like surprises. Our treatment estimates are guaranteed. Once we tell you what your portion will be, it will never be more. Sometimes it’s less.
We provide 24/7 Emergency Dental Care for our patients.
We offer sedation dentistry and many other amenities to ensure your comfort.
We’re active members of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Utah Dental Association, and a few others. We are continuing education junkies and stay current with the most current and effective dental treatments.
We have a soft tissue (gum) laser. We also use digital x-rays, electronic patient records, and the most highly independently-reviewed and studied materials.
With evening and Saturday dental appointments and an on-call 24-hour emergency dentist, we’re trying to be Salt Lake City’s most convenient dental office.
